Research on the Evolution Process of Institutional Research Organizations Based on Organizational Change Theory
The fundamental mission of institutional research is to serve institutional decision-making,but the development of institutional research organizations is influenced by various environmental factors,and it is difficult to balance the relationship between academic innovation and decision-making services.This paper introduces Kurt Lewin's organization change theory"unfreezing-changing-refreezing"three-stage model to study the history and development process of organizational change in a typical Chinese institutional research organization,in order to explore how it achieves integrated development in the interweaving of internal and external environmental changes.Research has found that the phenomenon of organizational change in institutional research organizations can be seen in two dimensions:changes in internal and external situations,resource acquisition and utilization,and innovative research paradigms are the core factors driving organizational change;The resolution and balance of three pairs of contradictions,namely disciplinary barriers and collaborative innovation needs,interest orientation in applied research and theoretical research,and personal development and collective image shaping,are key factors in maintaining organizational change stability.The analysis process presents the general laws of organizational change in institutional research organizations,and also responds to the uniqueness of the Chinese context such as think tank construction and academic evaluation reform,presenting a possible choice for the development and change of institutional research organizations in China.
