    Abstract

    This paper can be retrieved from here: https://encyclopedia.pub/13174. ==================================================== Serendipity is defined as the ability to recognize and evaluate unexpected information and generate unintended value from it. Based on this definition, Napier and Vuong propose a framework to develop the notion of serendipity as a strategic advantage (or competitive advantage), both in practice and in research.
