ABSTRACT: The word “organizational change” was first put forward
in 1947 by scholar Kurt. Before
the 1990s, most of the scholars praise highly the old institutionalism,
believing organizational change as a summary of interpretation; after the late
1990s, along with the complicated international environment, the increasing
progress of science and technology, research on organizational change is more and more specific and concrete, and scholars view change as normal in any organization
and emphasize the universality of organizational change. Although the research
on organizational change is more and
more deep, including the background of organization, the process of
organizational change, the role of leaders in a change, the relationship between
change and the environment etc., the quantitative analysis is absent. So this
article uses visualization software CiteSpace and sets the
keywords as nodes, observing the research
hotspot and the development trend in the field of organizational change, and we
find the number of literatures published is at the
top in 2008. There are four keywords that have higher co-occurrence frequency
and centrality, which are
“dynamic capability”, “human resource”, “competitive advantage” and
“organizational structure”. Also, we will analyze literature related to the
four keywords that have strong centricity thoroughly.
