Rockwell Automation was initially founded in 1903 as the Compression Rheostat Company by Lynde Bradley and Dr. Stanton Allen with an initial investment of $1,000. In 1910 the company was renamed the Allen-Bradley Company. In 1952 they opened a subsidiary in Galt, Ontario, Canada that now employs over 1000 people. In 1985 a new company record was set as they ended the fiscal year with 1 billion dollars in sales. On February 20, 1985 Rockwell International (now Rockwell Automation) purchased Allen-Bradley for $1.651 billion, which is the largest acquisition in Wisconsin's history.

Organizations are very much the same. An organization’s strategy, which is the purpose, direction, or “big picture,” is like the driver. The structure, which emphasizes how work is divided, and asks who is responsible for what, who has authority, what is centralized or decentralized, is like the truck itself. When an organization’s strategy and structure are misaligned, the outcome could be like my struggle with the truck. But when an organization’s strategy and structure are aligned, the ride is much smoother.
For organizations to compete effectively today, companies must have a clear and concise strategy. The successful firm will ask what its future goals are and determine which direction it is headed in. Furthermore, a good strategy will be highly valued by employees and customers. Jesus demonstrated an example of good strategy in His word. “For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost whether he has enough to finish it,”
There are different theories that explain organizational revolution. The following are theories of organizational change or revolution:
1. Selection Theory - Change is mainly brought about by resource scarcity, convergence to industry norms and structural inertia. Examples of this theory include: population, ecology, evolution theory and resource-based theory.
2. Adaptation Theory - Companies can do change: successful companies acquire different strategies and seek out new competencies. Examples are: Dynamic capability theory and learning theory.
