Primes

• Path Dependence
  • Mistaking one for the other leads to either under-investing (giving up when a critical juncture exists) or over-investing (expecting to overcome a true lock-in with small effort), a tension Sydow, Schreyögg, and Koch (2009) examine in their three-stage model of organizational path formation and breakout.

    This sourceThree-phase model (preformation, formation, lock-in) of organizational path dependence; distinguishes structural-economic mechanisms (switching costs, complementarity) from cognitive-cultural inertia, with implications for intervention design.
