Is the change process fully designed in advance, or is it formed gradually in the process?The study of corporate strategy has gone through a similar process: Minzberg et al. believe that strategy is gradually formed in the process of business operation, rather than planned in advance, as Grove et al. believe. From the perspective of the philosophy of science, one of the ways to do this is to adopt a gradual change approach to strategy, change, scientific research, or any other similar work related to future action, when the actor does not have complete knowledge (including the necessary information).Create process in process
The existing mainstream research in the West fundamentally assumes that "the change process is completely designed in advance" (for related research, please refer to the article "The Current Situation of Western Enterprise Change Research: From the Perspective of Change Action Framework and Change Research Concentration Field"). This assumption is often only meaningful for simple change in the real environment, and the process of complex change is also a variable for the changemaker: the changemaker only has a clear goal in advance, but there is no complete and detailed roadmap, and the actual roadmap depends on the changemaker to "change while drawing, and draw while changing" in the process - it can be understood that the process of change is to managers what the scientific process is to researchers. Taking China's state-owned enterprises as an example, in the past few decades, they have gone through a series of major reform stages, such as the separation of government and enterprises, industrial restructuring, group reorganization, and professional reorganization. In the following, combined with the long-term tracking, observation, personal experience and research of the transformation practice of Chinese enterprises, the realization method of the complexity change process from a theoretical perspective (for related research, please refer to the article "How Enterprises Implement Complexity Change: The Outline of the Complexity Change Process - Appearance Characteristics").
