TL;DR: Overall, this study identifies simple structures, interruptions, and time pacing as central to the emerging concept of group flexibility by which members enhance their performance on novel and/or ambiguous tasks.

TL;DR: A review of recent literature on coordination in organizations arranged according to the mechanisms that help achieve it can be found in this paper, where the authors propose that coordination mechanisms (such as routines, meetings, plans and schedules) impact the work of organizations by creating three integrative conditions for coordinated activity: accountability, predictability, and common understanding.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the current state of time in organizations and propose a framework to compare existing studies and generate propositions to develop the notion of temporal fit, which is then used to compare these studies.

TL;DR: The authors compare the responses to unexpected events that enable their work to continue, and compare ethnographic studies of the responses of organizations to these unexpected events with those of non-organizations.

TL;DR: The authors explored the connection between speed and decisiveness and found that speed is critical to organizational success, but how an emphasis on speed affects organizational processes remains unclear, despite a growing sense of importance of speed in organizational success.
