Abstract

In Chinese cultures, the philosophical thinking about momentum offers a rich understanding of organizational change. This chapter identifies the concept of momentum in Chinese cultures and develops a conceptual model of momentum management to illustrate the relationship between human action and situational momentum. The momentum-seizing, momentum-entraining, and momentum-creating strategies are illustrated in the context of organizational change. An example of a Chinese firm is also given to help illuminate these three strategies. Managerial implications on organizational change are threefold from the momentum management perspective: change agents synchronize their change actions with the rhythms of momentum favorableness; change agents pay more attention to the “when to change” questions; the understanding of the role of leadership can be extended in organizational change context.
