This thesis provides a theoretic exploration on the interactive
nature between the evolution of organization strategy and the
ecological change of an industry. Based on various streams of
research literature, this study contructs a conceptual
framework which attempts to encompass three research issues,
they are strategy formularion, industry structure change and
strategic renewal. Specifically, this reaearch tries provide a
platform for analyzing how a strategy is internally evolved
within the organization context of dominant logic, routines and
strategic intents, how the implementation of an organization''s
strategy in a process of competing for a survival niche will
disturb the ecology of an industry, which results in industry
structure change of different degree. Based on the framework,
this study proposes three perturbing patterns of industry
structure, they are ''order structure'' in equilibrium, ''chaos
phenomena'' in disorder and ''complexity'' in evolution, and
establishes the evolution trajectory, i.e. ''order -complexity-
chaos'', and selection path, i.e. ''chaos-complexity- order'', of
industry structure. Finally, to justify the usefulness of this
framework, we select firm''s internationalization as an issue
for discussion. we argue that an organization''s
internationalization actions have potential impacts on the
industry structure and institutional environment of both home
country and host country. Detailed propositions along this line
of inquiry are furnished and suggestionss for future studies
are also provide.
