Greiner’s model explains evolution and revolution at an organisation. In 1972, Larry Greiner recognized the five phases of the evolution in an organization by each of which consist of fixed time of growth that end up with crisis.

We can summarize our discussion by identifying important element that must be recognized by the decision makers of a companies. It is so important that managers must recognize in what phase that company stay on to decide to go forward to the next phase, a leader should be aware about the limitation of resources and certain number of solution that are available to get the company to have a revolutionary
