In the general area of organizational or other change mamagement: Is
there any research or dat that indicates the effect of slow or rapid
change process? Is there any effect of the speed of the process? as
a matter of fact i am looking for evidence that slow processes have
some advantage.

See "Leading Change" by Kotter. He's a Harvard Prof who has done alot
of research about organizational change.

I came across an interesting story a few days ago. It's about a guy
named Juran. He was delivering a talk about change and leading change
in an organization. He took an egg,....and put it over a bunsen
burner. It was burned and destroyed. His point was that an egg will
hatch in 21 days. You can try to make it go faster by adding heat.
...but guess what,...it doesn't work. If you just let it take its
course...nuture it....and support it...it will hatch in 21 days.

I hope that makes sense. I'm not sure I did a good job of explaining it.
