Purpose

This article presents a cognitive framework to study dynamic/adaptive aspects of a collection of popular fit measures used in organisation research, in an attempt to highlight what there is to be gained.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper uses a distributed e-cognition (DEC) framework to examine the current organisational literature of fit measures.

Findings

This paper highlights that most measures have a rather narrow focus and do not address dynamic/adaptive aspects in complex social systems (e.g. organisations). To both provide a way to integrate fit measures and cover the cognition gap in this literature, this article highlights the need for a more sophisticated measure.

Originality/value

This paper provides a novel approach to examining organisational fit literature through a distributed (e)-cognitive framework.
