FEUNL Working Paper Series No. 365http://hdl.handle.net/10362/85068In this article, the authors review the growing body of literature on organizational improvisation in order to present an encompassing and systematic perspective on this concept. An integrative definition of its construct is presented together with a new way to measure this phenomenon in organizational settings. The article further explores this construct by presenting its triggers, necessary conditions, influencing factors and major outcomes. The issues that improvisation's growing legitimization in the organizational arena for practitioners and researchers alike are addressed in order to argue for the need and interest of a fuller development research on this concept.engworking paper
