“…Serendipity does not emerge from the systematic application of what is already thought; rather, it emerges from surprise (Cunha et al, 2010). Wareham et al (2021) explored a set of modes in which serendipity can appear in highly technological contexts. Namely, it can be the outcome of a combination of different technologies, the application of a technology to a field that differs from that of the original The concept of serendipity has clear boundaries, meaning it is different from ambiguity (Brown, 2006), providence (de Rond, 2014), accidental occurrences (Brown, 2005), chance events (de Rond, 2014), and randomness (Liu and de Rond, 2016).…”

PurposeManagement research on serendipity, which is defined as a search that leads to an unintended discovery, has increased considerably over the last three decades. In this article, management research on serendipity (up to the end of 2021) is reviewed and synthesised.Design/methodology/approachA bibliometric analysis was conducted on 85 peer-reviewed articles extracted from the Scopus database, which was then integrated with a systematic literature review.FindingsThe bibliometric analysis revealed that management literature on serendipity is framed around four main thematic areas: conceptual boundaries, conditions favouring serendipity and outcomes, foreign market entry and the relationship between serendipity, networks and assets. A systematic literature review was then conducted on each of the identified clusters.Originality/valueThe present article offers a systematised view of the extant body of research on serendipity in management studies. Based on the findings, the main implications and future research agendas are discussed.
