  • “Rockin' All Over the World”: Organisational
    Int. J. Management Concepts and Philosophy, Vol. 9, No. 1, 2015 1 “Rockin’ All Over The World”: organisational improvisation lessons from the music-based practitioner Stephen A. Leybourne* Metropolitan College, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author Peter Cook Human Dynamics, London, UK Email: [email protected] Abstract: This paper explores the relationships and interactions between organisational improvisational activity and differing modes of improvisational expertise utilised by musicians from a range of musical genres. The evolving literature on organisational improvisation has been considered, together with parallel or reinforcing lessons drawn from the orchestral, jazz, and rock musical genres. It is evident that when we consider leadership and management, that more flexible and less rigid structures are being considered in a world of networked organisational structures. Successful managers and leaders draw on improvisational decisions and interventions that are grounded in experience and prior knowledge. Indeed, a degree of creative or constructive deviance is shown to be useful in achieving in the progressive modern organisation. Improvisational organisations have to be specially competent in the management of the unknown and unknowable rather than becoming blocked by such circumstances, and this paper draws out a number of lessons from a range of musical and organisational sources can assist the management practitioner. Keywords: organisational improvisation; creativity; improvisation; music. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Leybourne, S.A. and Cook, P. (2015) ‘“Rockin’ All Over The World”: organisational improvisation lessons from the music-based practitioner’, Int. J. Management Concepts and Philosophy, Vol. 9, No. 1, pp.1–19.

  • Stanley Donen, ‘Master of the Musical’ Who Directed ‘Singin’ in the Rain,’ Dies at 94
    LOG IN Stanley Donen, ‘Master of the Musical’ Who Directed ‘Singin’ in the Rain,’ Dies at 94 Stanley Donen in 1958. He directed some of Hollywood’s most beloved musicals, including “On the Town” (1949). Ronald Grant Archive, via Alamy By Richard Severo Feb. 23, 2019 Stanley Donen, who directed Fred Astaire dancing on the ceiling, Gene Kelly singing in the rain and a host of other sparkling moments from some of Hollywood’s greatest musicals, died on Thursday in Manhattan. He was 94. His son, Mark Donen, confirmed the death. Stanley Donen brought a certain charm and elegance to the silver screen in the late 1940s through the 1950s, at a time when Hollywood was soaked in glamour and the big studio movies were polished to a sheen. “For a time, Donen epitomized Hollywood style,” Tad Friend wrote in The New Yorker in 2003. Mr. Donen, he wrote, “made the world of champagne fountains and pillbox hats look enchanting, which is much harder than it sounds.” Mr. Donen worked with some of the most illustrious figures of his era: from Astaire and Kelly to Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. He also worked with Leonard Bernstein, the lyricist Alan Jay Lerner and the writing team of Comden and Green, not to mention Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor.
