Adopting the strategic leadership perspective, we develop a theoretical model of impact CEO and top manager styles practices on organizational learning. We take fine-grained look at processes levels learning to describe how leaders influence each element system. Researchers have implicitly assumed transformational approaches challenge this conventional wisdom by highlighting value transactional as well.
This paper builds on the principles and insights from improvisational theater to unpack nature of collective improvisation consider what it takes do well innovate. Furthermore, we discuss role training in enhancing incidence effectiveness improvisation. We propose that two common misconceptions about have hindered managers’ understanding how develop skill. First, spontaneous facet tends be overemphasized, second, there is a general assumption always leads positive performance. Our goal clear...
We argue that effective management action is impeded by a simplistic understanding of time—one dominated clock-time perspective. Using the concept improvisation, we reconcile two major time dichotomies associated with organizational phenomena: clock versus event and linear cyclical time. propose improvisation offers means for theorists practictioners to overcome these apparent dichotomies.
This article uses the improvisational theatre metaphor to examine performance implications of processes in firms. We recognize similarities and differences between concepts success both organizations, extract three main lessons from that can be applied organizational improvisation. In first lesson, we start by recognizing equivocal unpredictable nature The second lesson emphasizes good arises because its focus, contrast focus firms, is more on process improvising less outcomes Lastly, third...
Summary Adaptive performance is a facet of that reflects acquiring enhanced competencies in response to change. Micro‐level researchers have assumed adaptive beneficial for task performance. Similarly, macro‐level suggested organizations need attend to, monitor, and respond contingencies their environments be firm Drawing from the attention‐based theory resource theory, we suggest perceptions organizational politics individual differences conscientiousness constitute performance–task...
Purpose This paper aims to answer the question: how do knowledge workers’ improvisation processes promote both transfer and protection in knowledge-intensive organizations (KIOs)? A model is proposed identifying effective can strengthen effect of four specific mechanisms – an experimental culture, minimal structures, practice storytelling shared mental models on inside organization outside it. Design/methodology/approach The builds a translation perspective position as intrinsically...
We examine three knowledge-based processes and interactions underlying an effective improvisation capability in research development (R&D) teams: a team’s ability to create shared understanding of new knowledge, experience working together, gather external knowledge. Using sample 100 R&D teams developing computer technology innovations, we also the moderating role “minimal structures” (goal clarity combined with autonomy) as contextual factor supporting improvisation. Our results...
ABSTRACT This article integrates management education and organizational learning theories to identify the factors that drive differences in student outcomes between online classroom settings. We draw upon theory on knowledge transfer barriers organizations understand interlinking relationships among presage conditions, deep process, product 3P model of learning. test our context undergraduate find confidence instructor's expertise, perceived content relevance, social richness environment...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe how top management teams' expertise in comprehensive and intuitive decision-making contributes effective improvisational times crisis. Also, decision-making, as a means for balancing or transcending the dualities decision processes, enables three strategic processes coexist contribute decision-quality when Design/methodology/approach After providing general overview comprehensive, introducing paradox theory, offers conceptual model link...
The purpose of this study is to answer a call for the rejuvenation absorptive capacity (ACAP) construct by offering novel conceptualization and empirical test multidimensional model R&D project team ACAP that portrays it as capability distinct from prior knowledge, specifies each dimension's level analysis, distinguishes between individual collective assimilation, considers moderating effects structure. Using dataset survey archival sources on 100 innovations teams, we find members evaluate...
