Fit Diversity, Structure and Measurability

Abstract

The concept of fit and its many applications in management research is discussed. An historical perspective is given and a pool of recent papers using fit concepts on several management research areas is inspected closer. The main purpose of this essay is to grasp the epistemological variety of approaches, concepts, applications, and measurability of fit, so as to establish context contributing to the formulation of future research questions involving such a concept and inherent dimensions.
