Abstract
Organizational transformation has been a specialized subject of study by management researchers for more than three decades, various general, specific and thematic models have been developed for it. The aim of this research is design a model to increase the probability of organizational transformation success by considering the role of the innovation ecosystem as factor of organizational transformation success or failure and, in other words, the organization's locking into its innovation ecosystem, considering the analysis of actors, conflicts of interest, and power relations in the ecosystem. For this purpose, a comprehensive organizational transformation model was selected by meta-synthesis of eighty common models and based on the opinions of experts in the complex innovation ecosystem. After evaluating the causes of failure of industrial organization transformation programs in the past and modifying the model to eliminate failure points, the effects of the ecosystem on the model were extracted and finally the requirements related to the ecosystem were applied to the base model. This research is descriptive-evaluative and developmental and was conducted with the strategy of surveying the opinions of experts in the target ecosystem. Qualitative data analysis of the research was conducted with content analysis. Finally, an eight-step organizational transformation model with 55 sub-activities and 5 basic activities has been designed. According to the experts' point of view, to reduce the possibility of organizational transformation failure, the importance of the steps has been determined, and in some cases, parallelization of activities has been used to overcome the disadvantages of common transformation models.
