Conclusions Implications of the Research Problems for Analysis References Name Index Subject Index 330 $aHannan 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. 606 $aOrganizational change 606 $aOrganizational behavior 615 0$aOrganizational change. 615 0$aOrganizational behavior. 676 $a302.3/5 700 $aHannan$b Michael T$077630 701 $aFreeman$b John$f1945-$01494682 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778175203321 996 $aOrganizational ecology$93718375 997 $aUNINA
