Abstract
The technological hurdles to strategic change are often easier to scale than the political ones. Strategic decisions - particularly those that imply restructuring - upset established patterns, challenge organizational units'' identities, and create barriers to strategic change. The authors track a strategic decision in a Fortune 500 corporation, identify political obstacles that overshadowed the process, and highlight turning points in the strategy''s direction. The unfolding Techno story provides a close look at the implications for organizing team-based processes and managing the politics of technological change.
