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...

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 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...

Complex systems may be a useful methodological tool to address "challenges for research in development". There is a huge and growing literature on complex systems and economic theory that might be related to early intuitions of classical economists on the workings of capitalist economies....

This article proposes that artificial intelligence (AI) is positioned as a key driver of a new evolutionary stage of human knowledge, complementing human intelligence and facilitating the creation and development of sophisticated collective intelligence, defined as the noosphere, understood as...

Economic and population growth increasingly pressure the Earth system. Fertile soils are essential to ensure global food security, requiring high-yielding agro-technological regimes to cope with rising soil degradation and macro-nutrients deficiencies, which may be further exacerbated by climate...

This article is the first of a series that offers a new paradigm for economics, the "multilevel paradigm," using generalized Darwinism as its theoretical framework. Generalized Darwinism refers to all processes that combine the ingredients of variation, selection, and replication - not just...

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...

Is humanity's circle of moral concern expanding, as often claimed? I explore frequencies of morally universal language in 15m book publications in American English, British English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian from 1800-2000. In each language, morally universal terminology diminished...

This article examines the role of ideas, tradition, and economic history in the context of F. A. Hayek's theory of social knowledge. While Hayek often emphasized the beneficial consequences of unintended and spontaneous action, his accounts of the transmission of ideas within society identified...

Purpose The game strategies differ when different regions participate in the oil game. Under what circumstances will different participants choose cooperation or sanction strategies? This is the core issue of this paper. Design/methodology/approach Regarding the current and future game behavior...
