PublicationOrganizing Awareness and Responsiveness to handle the Catch 22 of organizational change : Taking a process perspective on merging two nursing departmentsHandling paradoxes is important to manage change. Taking a process perspective, I explore the paradox of change processes that emerges when weaving a "new" organizing into the "old" one. The single case study within a hospital demonstrates six communicative patterns to handle the catch 22 of organizational change. They share awareness and responsiveness which relates the poles of "old" and "new" organizing and provides the conceptual contribution of the paper. This organizational view complements the existing insights that mainly focus on individual and group strategies to handle paradoxes. The study suggests practitioners to organize awareness and responsiveness by structuring communication. Doing so enables those involved to observe the change process within the specific context and as it unfoldsType: conference paperVolume: Paper Session 1615

PublicationCommunicative Dynamic to Reconstruct Paradoxes in Organizations(EGOS European Group for Organizational Studies, 2010-07-01)The paper explores the question of how paradoxes become reproduced in daily organizing practice. Based on a single longitudinal case study of changing a nursing department, we demonstrate not only historically how a specific paradox emerged, and was unfolded successfully. But more so, and inspired by social systems theory, we use a the concept of communicative dynamic to depict how the paradox was reproduced within the daily organizing in which it is situated locally. In our view, the communicative dynamic provides a promising approach to explore paradoxes within organizations for academics and practitioners alike. It contributes to the understanding of paradoxes as integral to organizational life to pursue both/and approaches and encourages a paradoxical lens on organizational phenomena such as change processes.Type: conference paper

PublicationRecursive Change : Changing change during a hospital mergerAn important challenge for practitioners and students of fundamental change processes is their recursive dimension. The paper explores this dimension based on a longitudinal case study of a hospital merger. It shows that change changes over time due to its internal dynamics and thereby demonstrates the recursive dimension. The conceptual contribution thereof, the recursive model “changing change”, consists of two interlocking cycles: the dynamic interaction between those involved and the interplay between crises and their handling. Recursive change implicates for practice and research to reconsider the question of how to provide stability within a dynamic understanding of change processes.Type: conference paper
