Gersick (1991) attributes the 'more than three times more likely to initiate frame-breaking change' figure to Tushman, Newman & Romanelli (1986: 42), confirmed by direct read of her own text

The 'externally recruited executives are 3x more likely to initiate frame-breaking change' figure still rests on a single-hop citation, not an independent read of Tushman, Newman & Romanelli (1986)

A shared slogan is not a shared model — the Red Queen's 'run to stay in place' travelled from Van Valen's biology into organizational theory and semiconductor economics, but only one import carried the constant-hazard formalism; the rest carried only Carroll's image

Does Barnett's own data show computer manufacturing exhibiting Red Queen competitive dynamics, or is that only the publisher's framing?

Executive succession correlates with organizational restructuring, but the effect runs through what the new actor does, not the bare fact of turnover

A full-text mirror of Gersick (1991) confirms the vault's recorded 'deep structure' quotations verbatim against the primary text

Gersick's (1991) punctuated-equilibrium model alternates long equilibrium periods of incremental adaptation within a fixed 'deep structure' with brief revolutionary periods that dismantle and reorganize that deep structure

The punctuated-equilibrium 'trigger' findings the vault attributed to Tushman & Romanelli (1985) are verbatim the abstract of Romanelli & Tushman (1994), a distinct later empirical paper

Tushman & Romanelli (1985) locate the trigger for organizational reorientation in environmental jolts and executive succession, not in the accumulation of small internal changes

The vault's recorded Tushman & Romanelli (1985) 'reorientation' quote is a paraphrase blending the reorientation-event definition with the separate strategic-orientation (deep-structure) definition, matching neither verbatim
