CORTAZAR-TRIANA, Daniel. The Transorganization as a Structural Answer of Creative Micro-Organizations. Finanz. polit. econ. [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.2, pp.331-363.  Epub Oct 19, 2023. ISSN 2248-6046.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revfmanzpolitecon.v15.n2.2023.3.

This article is based on the concept of transorganization (Eikhof, 2014) and it is used as a framework to describe creative micro-organizations which are predominant in the field of creative industries. From this theoretical framework, self-management is proposed as the main strategy to be used by these firms in order to face ambiguous and uncertain contexts and thus be able to use organization improvisation (Hatch, 1990) derived from the loose coupling of functions (Douglas & Weick, 1990), as a way of structuration. In order to achieve this, this paper proposes the same theoretical approaches that the academy has used to develop creative entrepreneurship, with a view to focus on these concepts according to bibliometric analysis. Afterwards, the effect of those concepts is analyzed from an economic viewpoint. Later, participant observation and in-depth interviews are used as qualitative methodological tools. Finally, three creative music micro-organization cases are examined to gather empirical data and consequently reach a theoretical definition of the concept of "self-management" in the field of creative organizations theory which has been put into practice without any academic theoretical reference.
