A high organizational complexity above the cognitive limits of employees and management can contribute to a business performing sub-standardly in comparison to its competitors. As businesses can grow over time into a state of high complexity, an active approach to complexity management has to be...

The concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems (EE) is gaining increasing attention from academics, professionals, and policymakers because of its potential as a policy tool for promoting economic growth. However, the theoretical foundation for analyzing EE needs further development to...

This study explores the role of complex problem solving in securing sustainable competitive advantage for organizations. It investigates whether the ability to resolve complex, multidimensional problems contributes to a firm's strategic positioning and operational efficiency. The research...

Gill and Prowse (2023) study response times using a repeated p-beauty contest (p = 0.7). Looking at between-subject variation in response times, they found that subjects who think for longer, on average, win more rounds and choose lower numbers. When comparing average response times and level-k...

The study analyzes and assesses the economic and linguistic complexity of individual retirement products in Poland. For this purpose, an original multidimensional approach was used and various research methods were applied. We analyzed 75 out of 86 individual pension products (IKEs and IKZEs)...

Business complexity is an important informational friction but challenging to measure. We use a GPT large language model fine-tuned on narrative disclosures and inline XBRL tags to measure business complexity from a user perspective. Our measure negatively correlates with the speed of capital...

This study examines how organization complexity influences financial reporting complexity (FRC) and information environment. The results suggest that the positive association between organization complexity and FRC is much more nuanced than portrayed in the literature. An organizationally...

To study the effects of reminder nudges in complex environments, we apply a novel experimental approach based on a computer game in which decision makers have to pay attention to and perform multiple actions within a short period of time. The set-up allows us, first, to test the effect of...

As contemporary engineered systems become more interdependent, there is a growing need to manage their system complexity. However, system complexity only exists as implicit and heterogeneous information. This situation causes difficulties to obtain and analyze system complexity. This manuscript...

Projects in public governance and technological development are becoming increasingly complex. Complexity, as an inherent attribute of any project, needs to be defined and documented to enable a project team to foresee resulting challenges in a timely manner, and take steps to alleviate them.The...

We conduct an incentivized experiment on a nationally representative US sample (N=708) to test whether people prefer to avoid ambiguity even when it means choosing dominated options. In contrast to the literature, we find that 55% of subjects prefer a risky act to an ambiguous act that always...

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of potential and realized absorptive capacity on project success through both the mediating roles of strategic agility and the moderating role of project complexity. A simple random sampling was used to collect data from 285 respondents working in...
