Elaine Romanelli

American organizational theorist and management scholar, co-author on every paper in the vault's organizational-punctuated-equilibrium cluster alongside Michael Tushman — the 1985 Research in Organizational Behavior theoretical chapter, the 1986 California Management Review article (with Newman) carrying the "3x more likely" frame-breaking-change figure, the 1992 Organization Science paper (with Virany), and the 1994 Academy of Management Journal empirical test where she is listed as first author. Load-bearing for two of the vault's real source corrections in this cluster: a misattributed abstract and a blended-quote paraphrase, both caught by reading the primaries directly rather than trusting a search-reproduced citation.
