Organizational adaptation is equivocal. On the one hand, concept ubiquitous in management research and acts as glue binding together central issues of organizational change, performance, survival. other it lurks around various guises (e.g., “fit,” “alignment,” “congruence,” “strategic change”) studied from multiple theoretical streams behavioral, resource based, institutional) at different levels analysis organization industry levels). In a novel approach to reviewing 443 articles that...
Organizational adaptation is a concept that describes both congruence within organizations, with respect to the strategies and structures deployed, across degrees which organizations meet expectations of their environments. A wide array research traditions have explored adaptation, albeit many different labels. This annotated bibliography tracks foundations organizational its digressions, challenges. Such review provides important resources for scholars interested in conducting by...
The recent integration of the cognition and capabilities literature streams is playing an emerging role in expanding adaptation decisions for organizations with managerial attention a specific defining organizational to technological change. Despite this emergence, antecedents attention, particularly temporal orientations have not been thoroughly developed theoretically or empirically. While has theorized as capability, scholars yet identified how early intense develops capability. In...
Attention has been highly influential construct identifying the cognitive aspects of organizations and subsequent strategic moves. As literature on attention developed to account for dimensions that distinguish heterogeneity in adaptive outcomes, an opportunity further elaborate specifying antecedents itself emerges, particularly with respect competing issues may detract from or experiences structures promote toward new technologies. such, this study leverages Attention-Based View (Ocasio,...
Scholars in the management field have been increasingly interested how historical factors and processes affect current organizational behaviors called for a fuller integration of perspective into organization theory.

Where organizational decision-makers focus their attention is a central premise in the behavioural theory of firm and particularly important as organizations adapt to technological changes dynamic environments. Structuring toward specific aspects environment key means through which shift strategic agendas. However, research has often overlooked fact that new technologies, at onset, are ambiguous, making it difficult for determine appropriate structures. Adaptation, this way, partly dependent...
The jobs of organizational decision-makers are particularly complex, and complex tasks likely to require cognitions too. Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) – a configurational methodology offers great potential investigate such forms cognitions, where multiple mechanisms contribute simultaneously an outcome in question. To date, however, research that investigates managerial cognition through lenses is scarce because prior studies have tended explain phenomena by means linear logic each...
The ability to adapt novel technologies is crucial strategic management yet challenging for incumbent organizations. Prior experience with technology among decision-makers believed ease the process of adaptation since familiarity channels attention toward technological terrains, which enables be detected and prioritized more readily. Paradoxically, also suggests that experienced would increasingly aware few succeed, therefore, making them less likely strategically. By applying an...
Directions of attention, particularly when directed toward new technology, is a critical component incumbents adapting to technological change; however, technology often ambiguous at its core, skewing the interpretations associated with attending change. As result, organizations may attend emerging technologies, but attention differ between organization depending on how single change interpreted. Technological changes, therefore, are analogous prisms that emit different signals recognizing...
