In November, 2011, the Financial Stability Board, in collaboration with the International Monetary Fund, published a list of 29 “systemically important financial institutions” (SIFIs, now referred to as “globally systemically important banks” or G-SIBs), institutions whose failure, by...

Game-theoretic trees vary in complexity. To rank trees by their complexity, this paper relies on the subjects' behavior to empirically derive a measure of tree complexity. Data comes from the mobile app Blues and Reds, designed specifically to conduct experiments. The sample consists of 6,637...

Agent-based models are usually claimed to generate complex dynamics; however, the link to such complexity has not been subject to rigorous examination. This paper studies this link between the complexity of financial time series---measured by their multifractal properties---and the design of...

In business research, firm size is both ubiquitous and readily measured. In contrast, complexity, another firm-related construct, is frequently relevant, but difficult to measure and not well defined. As a result, complexity is seldom incorporated in empirical designs. Measures such as the...

The paper presents network theory and complexity theory in the context of organization and management sciences. Both theories today are of great interest among researchers whose purpose is to explain and understand the complexity of the organization's functioning and management through the lens...

Conceptualizing on developing cognitive pathways for taming wicked problems within the context of complex adaptive social systems, we introduce a new type of community of practice (CoP), called second track processes, that generates social intelligence as solutions to these complex problems. Our...

What makes the collections of international institutions or regimes governing various domains—called in the literature regime, institutional or governance complexes—“complex”? This article examines several conditions for complexity discussed in that literature, and finds them necessary...
