- Title
TIME AND ORGANIZATIONAL IMPROVISATION.

- Abstract
We argue that effective management action is impeded by a simplistic understanding of time--one dominated by a clock-time perspective. Using the concept of improvisation, we reconcile two major time dichotomies associated with organizational phenomena: clock time versus event time and linear time versus cyclical time. We propose that improvisation offers a means for management theorists and practitioners to overcome these apparent time dichotomies.
