dc.description.abstractWhile many theorists using frameworks within the population perspective accept some fundamental assumptions, they debate two issues. Debates about appropriate units of analysis and definitions of terms and debates about selected processes continue. This paper reviews accepted assumptions and continued debates and offers alternative resolutions to these debates. The paper concludes by realistically identifying how the population perspective may enhance understanding of organizations.en_US
