The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has had a major impact on supply chains. It is reasonable to assume that the impact on trade flows could be even greater than that of the GFC in 2009, when world trade plummeted by over 20%. Most of these consequences are the natural result of the closure of many production facilities around the world. However, some trade impacts are the direct result of government interventions in trade policy, pointing to a greater and longer-term impact of the current crisis.

When time is of the essence and teams face unexpected contextual changes, they must adapt quickly, sometimes even in real time, that is, they may have to improvise. This paper adopts an inductive approach to explore how teams decide to engage in improvised adaptation, and what happens during those processes for improvisation to be successful. The study analyzes improvisation from the perspective of paradox
theory and identifies six paradoxical tensions driven by these contexts: deployment, development, temporal, procedural, structural, and behavioral tensions. We propose a dynamic equilibrium model of team improvised adaptation that leads to team plasticity.
