Abstract
While the construct of surprise has increasingly been used in recent years, its proliferation across the social sciences has led to different words and meanings for the same construct that create confusion and a distinct lack of construct clarity. In addition, organizations are increasingly subjected to surprises that draw executive attention, additional resources, and organizational energy. In our review of the construct, the author searched the top journals in Management, Economics, Psychology, Sociology, and Political Science and found that three prominent perspectives emerge. The author, therefore, provides a concise overview of the construct and its key concepts and provides guidance about promising avenues for future research.
