Article Preview

Abstract:

The research of improvisation has been become an emerging management area in recent years, and the purpose of this study is to explore the intellectual structure of this research domain. A journal co-citation analysis was performed using the cited articles in the improvisation field included by Web of Knowledge database from 1997 to 2012. The journal set used was the 30 most productive journals in the field of improvisation, and multivariate statistical techniques were used to deal with the co-citation frequency matrix and correlation matrix. The results of current study show that the knowledge base of improvisation research involves multi-disciplinary with broad relations with other specialties: management, organization, marketing, innovation, information management, sociology and psychology.
