Is there a word for when organisations or political movements change ideology but retain the same name?

In classic organizational theory there are the dual concepts of ‘mission creep,’ where organizations change focus in response to external pressures (e.g., Zald and Denton 1963), and ‘goal displacement,’ where change results from internal pressures (e.g., Selznick 1943). For a great example of this sort of thing, take a look at Messinger’s 1955 paper in the American Sociological Review on the Townsend Movement.
