Co-creating Relationship Repair (2015, background): “Destabilization is a form of unfreezing, a state that existing theories have identified as marking the beginning of transitions in general and identity transitions specifically (Lewin, 1951; Ebaugh, 1988; Gioia, Schultz, and Corley, 2000; Ashforth, 2001; Ibarra, 2003).”
A Temporal Perspective on Organizational Identity (2013, background): “…on identity claims, they are concerned with the shifting meanings of enduring claims, which allow organizational identity to adapt to unstable external conditions for identity construction expressed through shifting external images, or what they term " adaptive instability " (Gioia et al. 2000).”
Organizational Ambidexterity: Antecedents, Outcomes, and Moderators (2008, result): “…found that their ideas coincide to a greater degree with those of March, who initially differentiated between exploitation and exploration by focusing on the type or degree of learning rather than the presence or absence of learning (Benner & Tushman, 2003; Gupta et al., 2006; He & Wong, 2004).”
Understanding Organizations through Embodied Metaphors (2008, background): “Task Identities Whereas organizational identity was initially conceptualized as those aspects of an organization that its members consider central, enduring, and distinctive (Albert and Whetten 1985), more recent work has advanced a more interpretive approach (Gioia et al. 2000).”
Hybrid Vigor: Securing Venture Capital by Spanning Categories in Nanotechnology (2014, background): “An organization’s identity may thus comprise multiple attributes of varying importance (Gioia et al., 2000) and this stratification is likely to be most evident in hybrid organizations (Battilana & Dorado, 2010; Pache & Santos, 2010).”
Knowing in practice: Enacting a collective capability in distributed organizing (2002, background): “Contemporary work on identity construction and reinvention (Albert et al. 2000, Gioia et al. 2000, Schultz et al. 2000) has much to offer a perspective on organizational knowing, presenting opportunities for exploring the recursive relationship between identity and knowing as both emerge through…”
Special Issue: Frontiers of Organization Science, Part 1 of 2: Organizing and the Process of Sensemaking (2005, background): “The controversy implicit in Gioia and Thomas’s findings is the suggestion that identity may not be nearly as enduring as first thought, and may be more usefully conceptualized as a variable, mutable continuity (Gioia et al. 2000).”
Struggling with Lack: A Lacanian Perspective on Organizational Identity (2009, background): “By doing so, it becomes more transparent that the discourse about the need to change identity meanings (Gioia et al. 2000a) is always also a dialog about how and why existing identity labels fail to convey meaning.”
