Deze theorie die veronderstelt dat ondernemingen gewoonlijk langere tijd stabiel zijn met af en toe een dynamische periode waarin zich allerlei ontwikkelingen voltrekken, waarna het geheel weer in evenwicht komt.

The central proposition of punctuated equilibrium embodies three concepts:
stasis, punctuation and dominant relative frequency (Eldridge and Gould, 1972).
Stasis refers to a long period of relatively unchanged form; punctuation is
radical change over a short duration; and dominant relative frequency is the
rate these events occur in a particular situation. Punctuated equilibrium was
developed as an alternative to phyletic gradualism, which stresses consistent,
cumulative changes to species. Within the context of organizational behavior,
the punctuated equilibrium model consists of deep structures, equilibrium
periods and revolutionary periods. Deep structure is “the set of fundamental
‘choices’ a system has made of (1) the basic parts into which its units will be
organized and (2) the basic activity patterns that will maintain its existence.”
(Gersick, 1991, p 14) Equilibrium periods are characterized by the maintenance
of organizational structures and activity patterns, where small incremental
adjustments are made to adjust for environmental changes without affecting the
deep structure. Revolutionary periods occur due to significant changes in the
environment that lead to wholesale upheaval where a system’s deep structure
comes apart, leaving it in disarray until the period ends and choices are made
around which a new structure forms. (Gersick, 1991)
