Abstract: Abstract Marshall Scott Poole’s research on processes of organizational change has been influential across multiple fields. Few scholars have drawn inspiration from such interdisciplinary sources and had such impact across various disciplines. For four decades, he has developed metatheoretical approaches, specific theories, and novel over a career of nearly methodologies for studying the process of organizational change. His work on group decision development, technology use, and virtual organizing has opened up new lines of inquiry for organizational researchers. In his current work, Poole continues to demonstrate that change is not something that happens to organizations, but rather that by their very nature organizations are continuously changing.
