This paper argues that entrepreneurship can usefully be characterized as the search for peaks on a fitness landscape. This conceptualization is useful in linking together several different views on the nature of opportunity, highlighting reasons for disagreement, and providing a way of bridging...

Although the application of Complex Systems Science methods is fairly well-established in several Physical and Life Sciences (e.g. network analysis, multi-level simulation in Systems Biology and Nanotechnology), this perspective has far deeper implications that should be transforming the way we...

The aim of this study is to show regional differences as local effects of foreign investments in the dual economy of Hungary. We first introduce three knowledge functions (knowledge exploitation, knowledge exploration, and organizational control) of innovation systems. These functions are...
