This unprecedented growth necessitated that Midwest Survey reconsider its organizational and space needs, resulting in several moves to different locations on the campus of Midwest University; the move in 1986 is the subject of the present study.
This unprecedented growth necessitated that Midwest Survey reconsider its organizational and space needs, resulting in several moves to different locations on the campus of Midwest University; the move in 1986 is the subject of the present study. It has been demonstrated that when organizations are under stress, their linkages (internal and external) become accentuated, making these the most conducive circumstances for studying organizational life in an unaffected state (Coleman 1982). ” An imminent physical move from one location to another, then, temporarily suspends routine functions in internal interchanges as well as external transactions.
