Abstract
This paper analyses how organizational routines change. It focuses on the level of learning groups within organizations. The paper starts with a summary of the &apos'activity theory&apos' of knowledge used. Next, the notion of scripts is used, to analyse organizational groups as &apos'systems of distributed cognition&apos', and to identify different levels of routines and their change. Finally, the paper looks at communication routines or rules needed for different levels of change, in the formation of new &apos'shared beliefs&apos'.
