Abstract

A Growing body of scholars emphasizes the importance of extending knowledge of organizational change by explaining why and how continuous change occurs. Combined with organizational improvisation, we explain how continuous change occurs through a longitudinal case study. Organizational improvisation plays an important role in accepting environmental changes, especially sudden changes, but in the long run, the realization of continuous change requires two wings to be waved simultaneously: (1)In response to environmental changes, part of the organizational improvisation process is retained, forming experience, and promoting the next organizational improvisation; (2)In response to environmental changes, Organizational improvisation lead to internal activity, which is conducive to the next organization improvisation.
