Below is an instant translation from a Norwegian Company's annual report in 2003.

The Company is focused on gender-equality and the manager, that is the only one of the male species in the group and that on top of it all is gay, doesn't have any issues with the four employees that are female, but we live together in perfect harmony.

The board consists of 1 woman, 1 gay and 1 man.

If the company was to comply with the law about gender equality we would have to fire some females and hire some males, but that is out of the question.

Logical Incrementalism is a term coined by James Brian Quinn (1980). According to Quinn, "Constantly integrating the simultaneous incremental process of strategy formulation and implementation is the central art of effective strategic management". His adaptive approach of strategy formulation recognizes that implementing change in a large organization is complex and time-consuming and as a result a fully articulated strategic plan may actually not be possible. Instead the theory proposes a nonlinear mixture of strategic planning and spontaneous change midcourse.

Quinn even wrote a book named
Strategies for Change: Logical Incrementalism (The Irwin Series in Management and the Behavioral Sciences)
