Abstract | Purpose: The processual interpretation of strategic change has been often applied to private companies searching for a logic behind their apparent chaotic transformation. The purpose of this paper is to report on an experience in a public organisation, an Italian university, where this perspective is exceptionally reflected, entailing a refining process towards a new strategy. Design/methodology/approach: The longitudinal case study was carried out analyzing different subunits within this institution, investigating the way in which top managers have tried to re-position the organisation, taking advantage of the increased autonomy given by a series of reforms of the academic system. Findings: The results show an incremental process towards autonomy and accountability, through which top managers have transformed the organisational structure, identified responsibilities, and introduced a new set of managerial techniques. Originality/value: This study shows how the combination of three elements--logic, incrementalism and accounting--has guided the institution in the trajectory of its transformation.
