We examine dominant identity requirements of cross-cultural management (CCM) in complex organizational settings. In particular, we highlight how the norm of “being mobile” as an expression of “being committed” advantages male and single individuals, the holders of a “favourable”...

Many decision contexts require economic actors to learn from something they do not see, yet corresponding evidence on people's cognition is scarce. In a tightly structured and transparent laboratory experiment, many subjects fully neglect what they do not see. A series of treatment variations...

Slow-Developing Catastrophic Risks (SDCRs) refer to risks, the development of which, though hardly discernible at first or by non-experts, may lead to critical transitions (or regime shifts). As a result, SDCRs can have catastrophic consequences in terms of fatalities or economic losses. Because...

Banks have progressively evolved from being standalone institutions to being subsidiaries of increasingly complex financial conglomerates. We conjecture and provide evidence that the organizational complexity of the family of a bank is a fundamental driver of the business model of the bank...

Response times are a simple low-cost indicator of the process of reasoning in strategic games. In this paper, we leverage the dynamic nature of response-time data from repeated strategic interactions to measure the strategic complexity of a situation by how long people think on average when they...

We propose that innovative originality (InnOrig) is a valuable organizational resource, and that owing to limited investor attention and skepticism of complexity, firms with greater InnOrig are undervalued. We find that firms' InnOrig strongly predicts higher, more persistent, and less volatile...

Our most pressing societal problems such as enhancing health care, developing alternate energy, revitalizing cities, and advancing the economy are complex innovation eco-systems. Complex innovation eco-systems are the next frontier in technology and innovation management, and require a...
