Purpose – This paper aims to propose a logistical network design framework with robustness and complexity considerations. Design/methodology/approach – The paper defines robustness, complexity, and normalised efficiency of a logistical network. A mathematical model is then constructed based...

Purpose – The vast majority of evidence about knowledge management (KM) is based on studies within a mass‐producing context and at intra‐organizational level. Little has been reported in the complex products and systems (CoPS) literature about KM processes across firm boundaries. To...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to advocate that case study research needs to renew itself and employ its full potential as an innovative theory‐generating methodology in management disciplines; and to propose that a viable strategy for such renewal is to exploit the power of case...

Purpose – The purpose of this research paper is to review and contrast traditional foresight methods through the lens of one of the key insights about complex adaptive systems – namely, a system's sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Design/methodology/approach – Foresight methods...
