TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined cooperation between 136 industrial buyers and suppliers and identified four domains of potential cooperation: flexibility, information exchange, shared problem solving, and shared problem-solving.

TL;DR: The authors distinguish three distinct modes of selective interorganizational imitation: frequency imitation, trait imitation, and outcome imitation (imitation based on a practice's apparent impact on others) and investigate whether these imitation modes occur independently and are affected by outcome salience and contextual uncertainty in the context of an important decision: which investment banker to use as adviser on an acquisition.

TL;DR: The authors define organizational improvisation as the degree to which the composition and execution of an action converge in time, and examine the theoretical potential of this definition, and propose that both organizational procedural memory (skill knowledge) and declarative memory (fact knowledge) moderate improvisation's impact on organizational outcomes in distinct ways.

TL;DR: In this article, an inductive study of improvisation in new product development activities in two firms uncovered a variety of improvisational forms and the factors that shaped them, embedded in the observations they made.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that organizational memory affects key new product development processes by influencing the interpretation of incoming information and the performance of new product action routines, and they also argue that memory affects new product actions.
