Purpose – The punctuated equilibrium model of group activity and the positive task conflict‐performance relationship are prominent in the team literature; however, their respective underlying concepts, team approach and ideas‐task complexity fit have been neglected. The first aim of the...

Although it is a relatively new subject discussed worldwide by economic researchers, the complexity paradigm invites us to make ample incursions in time in order to understand the substantial differences between the optics of standard economic theory and the holistic approach of the new economy....

Neo-Schumpeterianism appeared in literature as a heterodox current and belongs to the evolutionary theories category. It works around and with innovation, considered to be a proper tool for measuring the qualitative changes which occur within an economy. The joint efforts of evolutionary...

The principle that the simplest model capable of describing observed phenomena should also correspond to the best description has long been a guiding rule of inference. In this paper a Bayesian approach to formally implementing this principle is employed to develop model selection criteria for...

Purpose – Effective decision making and learning in a world of growing dynamic complexity requires leaders to become systems thinkers – to develop tools to understand the structures of complex systems. The paper aims to clarify the relationship between systems thinking and leadership...

Purpose – After summarizing the theories of anticipation proposed over the past century, the paper aims to distinguish between anticipation as an empirical phenomenon and the conditions that make anticipation possible. The paper's first part seeks to show that many scholars from various...

Purpose – When coping with complex, but also possibly disruptive and open‐ended social dynamics, the anticipatory system idea, which was developed by Rosen in the realm of physical and biological system observation, remains a reference framework, but one that may need to be reinforced by...
