Conclusions Implications of the Research Problems for Analysis References Name Index Subject IndexHannan and Freeman examine the ecology of organizations by exploring the competition for resources and by trying to account for rates of entry and exit and for the diversity of organizational forms. They show that the destinies of organizations are determined more by impersonal forces than by the intervention of individuals.Organizational changeOrganizational behaviorOrganizational change.Organizational behavior.302.3/5Hannan Michael T77630Freeman John1945-1804720MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960427503321Organizational ecology4352910UNINA
