Abstract

In a larger time-space entity, such as in a firm (i.e. autopoietic system), the organization’s structure evolves slowly and takes hold through production processes (e.g. Levitt and March 1988). This means that within the structure, micro processes are at work, referred to by Weick and Roberts (1993) as micro changes (i.e. micro processes). Thus, micro processes take place amid the larger movements in firms, and may connect to the more overall organizational unfolding in a variety ways. Hernes (2004) suggests that stable organizational spaces (i.e. structure) serve as a harbour for emergent processes providing resources to emergent micro processes.
