  • Chapter
Organizational Behaviour and Performance

Abstract

We have said in chapter 10 that in more orthodox innovations, the evaluation of success, like the defined objective of an innovation, tends to be unidimensional: the evaluation criterion will often be simply how nearly the project has come to meeting the single objective set for it at the beginning. There is little ability to distinguish between the monitoring of the change process and the evaluation of success. The latter is assumed to be increased to the extent that the former is successful.
