基于定性的深入访谈，广泛的实地观察，和文件材料的归纳分析，我们介绍了生殖即兴的概念，即兴的形式，强调复制的东西是失去了宝贵的。我们讨论了一个组织如何在动荡和模糊的环境中选择相同，以及如何实现这一目标。使用重建的紧急行动中心（EOC）在2001年9月11日在纽约市的世界贸易中心灾难后，其破坏，我们讨论了如何因素，如系统的稳定性，压力，以维持现状，替代的可访问性，并保留一个预先存在的心理地图，发展成为一个共同的愿景都促进生殖即兴。这项研究不同于大多数其他关于即兴创作的工作（例如，Weick，1998），专注于即兴创作以产生新的东西。在这里，我们专注于即兴创作，以产生尽可能与以前的模型相同的东西。因此，我们增加了一个新的角度对即兴和组织应对不断变化的环境通常的想法。
Based on an inductive analysis of qualitative in-depth interviews, extensive field observation, and document material, we introduce the concept of reproductive improvisation, an improvisation form that emphasizes reproducing something valued that is lost. We address how an organization might choose sameness in turbulent and ambiguous environments, and how it achieves that goal. Using the reestablishment of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) following its destruction during the September 1l, 2001 World Trade Center disaster in New York City, we discuss how factors such as system stability, pressures to maintain the status quo, substitution accessibility, and retaining a preexisting mental map that develops into a shared vision all facilitate reproductive improvisation. This research differs from most other work on improvisation (e.g., Weick, 1998) that focuses on improvising to generate something new. Here we focus on improvising to generate something that is, as much as possible, the same as a previous model. We therefore add a new perspective on the usual thinking of improvisation and organizations responding to changing environments.
