Primes

• Critical Juncture
  • A biologist studying speciation might see parallels in organizational divergence, the cross-domain transfer Tushman and Romanelli (1985) operationalized when they imported punctuated-equilibrium reasoning into organization theory.

    This sourcePunctuated-equilibrium model of organizational change (long convergence punctuated by brief reorientation), importing the paleobiological pattern into organization theory; supports the cross-domain-transfer claim.

• Punctuated Equilibrium
  • The Eldredge-Gould evolutionary pattern was carried into organizational theory as the convergence-and-upheaval model, and into team-development research as the midpoint-transition model.

    This sourceImports the stasis-burst pattern into organizational theory as convergence-and-upheaval (reorientation) episodes.

• Regime Change
  • The structural pattern of regime transitions recurs across climate dynamics, financial markets, ecological systems, organizations, and political upheaval, a recurrence Tushman and Romanelli (1985) document in their punctuated-equilibrium model of organizational evolution and Eldredge and Gould (1972) introduced in their original paleobiological model of punctuated equilibrium.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
