Paper Summary:
This paper reviews what an organization needs to do in order to successfully re-invent itself. It also considers what factors an organization should consider when revising or replacing its dominant philosophy. The paper discusses re-basing and describes why it is never a good option for an organization when it is faced with a crisis situation. In the end, the paper maintains that small, incremental changes over time and anticipating problems well in advance can reduce the need for sweeping re-inventions by for-profit and non-profit organizations alike.

Abstract
Organizational Re-invention and Re-basing
From the Paper:
"In their case, these organizations may feel compelled by a crisis event to pull funds out of productive investments to be put towards resolving a serious financial "crunch" somewhere else. The result can be not only the ill-advised movement of capital but also discouragement and a decline in morale among employees whose projects and ambitions are now being thwarted by events largely beyond their control. Viewed from this vantage point, allowing tragic or catastrophic events to determine the manner in which an organization re-defines its operations and goals can cause problems in areas hitherto strong without actually resolving the original dilemma."
