—Recent environmental turbulence including financial crisis, intensified competitive forces, rapid technological change and high market turbulence have dramatically changed the current
business climate.The managers firms have to plan and decide what the best approaches that best fit their firms in order to pursue superior performance.This research aims to examine the influence of strategic reasoning and top level managers’ individual characteristics on the
effectiveness of organizational improvisation and firm performance.Given the lack of studies on these relationships in the previous literature, there is significant contribution to the body of knowledge as well as for managerial practices. 128 responses from top management of technology-based companies in Malaysia were used as a sample.Three hypotheses were examined and the findings confirm that (a) there is no relationship between intuitive reasoning and organizational improvisation but there is a link between rational
reasoning and organizational improvisation, (b) top level managers’ individual characteristics as a whole affect organizational improvisation; and (c) organizational improvisation positively affects firm performance.The theoretical and managerial implications were discussed in the conclusions. |
