Serendipity as a Mechanism of Change and its Potential for Explaining Change Processes

Research output: Journal contributions › Journal articles › Research

Authors

Serendipity plays an important role in science and technology development. This arti-cle investigates serendipity as a potential mechanism of change in management areas such as technology management, strategy and organization. The mechanism will be described and conditions that support or hinder the mechanism will be discussed.
