Research on the Construction Process of Organizational Independence Capacity under the Dual Roles——The Case of Xin Hua College of Sun Yat-Sen University

Abstract

Abstract:

Spin-out companies not only need to pay attention to their profit-making situations, but also need to contribute to the society at the same time. In this dual role of the background, how can the organization realize the change from relying on the parent enterprise to gradually independent management? Independent colleges, as a form of transitional university presence in China's situation, are the typical representatives of such organizations. Based on the analysis of the capability construction process of Xin Hua College of Sun Yat-Sen University from 2005 to 2017, this study explores the ability construction process and internal mechanism of organizations with dual roles. Through the analysis, the study finds that:(1) the dual role organization's ability construction process can be divided into external ability introduction stage, internal ability construction stage and dual ability coordinated development stage; (2) the paradox equilibrium system formed by the dual tendency of public welfare and commercial affects the construction of organizational capacity; and (3) with the paradox equilibrium system as a bridge, the internal ability and external ability of the dual role organization spiral up and amplify each other. The study of the ability construction process of independent college in the paradox perspective, reveals the interaction mechanism of the paradox equilibrium system and the development process of organizational capacity. This study has implications for the study of the effect of contradictory dynamic movement of paradox theory and the construction process of organizational capacity.

Key words: organizational capability, paradox theory, independent college, case study
