Abstract
Organizational improvisation has been researched for over 30 years as it emphasizes the importance of improving the practice of managers and leaders dealing with unpredictability, increasingly stressed in contemporary times. An updated view of academic production in organizational improvisation is necessary, and a reflection on integrating it in management education. This research aims to systematize the advances in academic production on organizational improvisation and discuss its integration in management education. The research methodology consists of a systematic survey of academic production. The research results include: (a) a set of actual relevances and themes related to organizational improvisation, (b) a discussion about the importance of organizational improvisation for management education research, and (c) a set of educational approaches, barriers, and perspectives that help research and future practices to better integrate improvisation in management teaching and learning. The main contribution of this research is to inaugurate a new research orientation: the teaching-learning of organizational improvisation.
