“…As outlined above, interest in the performing arts as an empirical and theoretical research context is surging (Giorcelli and Moser 2020;Han and Ravid 2020;Janssens and Steyaert 2020;Rouse and Harrison 2022;Siganos and Tabner 2020). The studies in our sample hint at two reasons for this surge.…”

Management and organization scholars have long been intrigued by the performing arts—music, theater, and dance—as a rich context for studying organizational phenomena. Indeed, a plethora of studies suggest that the performing arts are more than an interesting sideline for authors, as they offer unique theoretical and empirical lenses for organization studies. However, this stream of literature spreads across multiple research areas, varies with regard to its underlying theories and methods, and fails to pay sufficient attention to the contextuality of the findings. We address the resulting limitations by identifying and reviewing 89 articles on management and organization related to the performing arts published in 15 top-tier journals between 1976 and 2022. We find that research in the performing arts advances organizational theory and the understanding of organizational phenomena in four key ways, namely by studying (1) organizational phenomena in performing-arts contexts; (2) performing-arts phenomena in organizational contexts; (3) organizational phenomena through the prism of performing-arts theories; and (4) organizational phenomena through the prism of performing-arts practices. We also find that, in contrast to other settings, the performing arts are uniquely suited for immersive participant-observer research and for generating genuine insights into fundamental organizational structures and processes that are generic conditions of the performing arts and management alike, such as leadership, innovation, and the management of uncertainty. Finally, based on our consolidation of the research gaps and limitations of the reviewed studies, we develop a comprehensive agenda for future research.

“…The international coverage of the dataset also allows for a greater culture heterogeneity in our 4 The literature on the effect of national cultural distance on M&A performance and outcomes has seen mixed results. Datta and Puia (1995), Reus and Lamont (2009) and Ahern et al (2015) find that national cultural distance can hinder M&A value creation and merger activity (Siganos & Tabner 2020), while Shane (1992), Hofstede (1980), Chakrabarti et al (2009), Steigner and Sutton (2011), Morosini et al (1998) provide evidence in support of cultural synergies and learning.…”
