Change of Organizational Identity in Polish Enterprises

Abstract
This chapter is based on an empirical study of 186 Polish enterprises (mainly in the metal and textile industries) in 1998–99. The study focused on changes in organizational identity – that is, the set of characteristics that distinguish a given firm from others in its organizational environment. The chapter considers factors that affect organizational identity, such as privatization, the economic situation and leadership. It shows the context of organizational identity and factors posing a threat for the present identity of Polish industrial companies.
