Keywords:
Organizational Improvisation, Organization, Bibliometric Analysis, ScopusAbstract
To remain competitive in high-sound environments, companies often need to act quickly. Through improvisation, organizations are able to create and generate new ideas to solve a given problem, in events that require immediate action, that is, improvisation is the conception planned in real time and the execution of a new response to a situation. that is beyond borders that a system has not prepared for. This article aims to provide an overview of the development of scientific publications on the topic of organizational improvisation, a research topic of growing interest for organization theory. From a methodological point of view, the work makes use of bibliometric analysis, being characterized as a quantitative, descriptive study, developed from an evaluation of bibliographic material. Scientific publications were verified from 1990 to 2023, using data collected in the Scopus (Elsevier) database. The selection of works was made based on a combination of English terms contained in the title, abstract and keywords of the publications. It is hoped that this study will be a basis and starting point for researchers on organizational issues who intend to get involved in this topic.
