Technological change, an overwhelming fact in recent socioeconomic history, involves, as Joseph A. Schumpeter famously put it, "creative destruction" on a large scale: it gives rise to new goods, production methods, firms, organisations, and jobs, while rendering some received ones obsolete. Its...

This study is a systematic review of the literature on logistics outsourcing practices in Africa. It is motivated by the need to conceptualize the future capabilities of logistics service providers (LSPs) currently operating in the region using the existing data from the literature. Data was...

This work presents the evolutionary growth theory, which studies the drivers and patterns of technological change and production together with the (imperfect) mechanisms of coordination among a multitude of firms. This requires to studies economies as complex evolving systems, i.e. as ecologies...

Transformation is key term in the broader study of socio-economic provisioning system that has gained increased prominence and visibility in recent years due to intensifying economic, social and ecological risks and crises in the global economy. In this short review we assess key understandings...

We draw from evolutionary psychology to predict that the immediate recognition of certain traits significantly impacts funding outcomes. Four such traits that are recognizable in potential entrepreneurs and play a role in funding decisions are: aggressiveness, attractiveness, competence, and...

The objective of this study was to analyse the evolutionary field of sustainable human resource management (S-(HRM)) over four strategically chosen sub-periods in order to understand its behaviour in the period from 1991 to 2024. We started by conducting a comprehensive review of research...

The technological development powered by Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) models, exemplified by Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 (GPT-4) and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), has completely transformed machine language processing and fostered...

This article posits that Heraclitus' work constitutes a somewhat underappreciated foundation in the study of socioeconomic thought. It then differentiates his perspective from earlier economic thought in ancient societies and critically examines the surviving fragments of his work. The...

This conceptual article introduces a new perspective on innovation systems by emphasizing their dynamic, co-evolutionary nature. In today's rapidly changing world, innovation should be understood as a heterogeneous, multidimensional, continuously evolving phenomenon embedded within complex...

Economic evolution involves structural change from within, so evolutionary price theory needs to address how prices facilitate and accommodate this structural change and how structural change in turn impacts on prices. Such analysis is impossible using neoclassical price theory in which...

"Following in the footsteps of Wieser, Mises, Schumpeter, Hayek and Rothschild, Christian Aspalter presents a novel economic theory synthesis, based on insights from human quantum mechanics. Including cutting-edge concepts and diagrams of quantum supply and demand field curves, the book outlines...

"In this revealing and eminently readable book, Geoffrey M. Hodgson takes readers on an intellectual odyssey through his distinguished career and his work as one of the leading institutional and evolutionary economists. Depicting his life throughout the Cold War, grappling with the military and...

Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, have caused intense discussions during recent years among market participants according to new options (such as payment or financing alternatives) and new risks (such as price volatility) involved. Despite being considered by various actors of private...
