Hi, I need a small advice. I'm working on literature review for a short project for my business course. What do I need for help is that I'm trying to find some articles related to Project Management and Improvization (or at least jazz generally). Different from the "ordinary" organizations, the project-based ones in business life have many things common with a jazz project. I'd really appreciate if someone helps me how can I find some articles about such a "hybrid" article.

You're going to like this one.  The founder of a company called IDS Scheer is a player.  The company is all about business process management (ok, not PM exactly but close).  Anyway, this guy, Dr. August-Wilhelm Scheer, wrote a great paper called Jazz Improvisation and Management (ISSN 1438 5678 if it helps).  You'll need to go to their site and register for the download area but they don't seem to be pesky. Try this... http://www.ids-scheer.com/international/english/consulting/solution_expertise/31325 Good luck.

I can't find it at all.  Would you mind downloading it and attaching it here to your message?

Well, it's 2.5M and doesn't zip worth a darn.  Someplace else I can put it?

Thanks sdm, I'm checking it out.

If you can't find it let me know and I'll send you a copy (if you give me an address).
