| Tittel: | Middle Managers’ Role During Strategic Change : One Size Does Not Fit All | | Ansvar: | Monica Rydland | | Forfatter: | Rydland, Monica  | | Materialtype: | Artikkel - elektronisk | | Signatur: | Beta | | Utgitt: | Oslo : Universitetsforlaget, 2020 | | Omfang: | S. 5-22 | | Serie: | Beta ; 1/2020 | | Innhold: | Middle managers’ capability in facilitating strategic change is critical to handle the increased pace of organizational change effectively. This article reviews the middle management literature to identify middle managers’ roles and practices during strategic change. Previous research has emphasized the role of implementer as the main responsibility for middle managers during strategic change. Through different practices, middle managers ensure implementation of change initiatives in their own unit. However, I argue that new sets of challenges have arisen in contemporary organizations that require middle managers to take an expanded role during strategic change. The article sheds light on the implications of the characteristics of contemporary organizations for middle managers’ roles and practices during strategic change. The article concludes with suggestions for future research.
