I introduce algorithmic models for the study of strategic problem solving, aimed at illuminating the processes and procedures by which strategic managers and firms deal with complex problems. These models allow us to explore the relationship between the complexity of an environment, the...

When different theory groups (groups of scholars sharing a common set of modeling assumptions and methods of legitimating arguments) vie to explain a particular phenomenon or solve a problem relevant to the study of organizations, which one will emerge as the dominant one in the literature and...

We introduce a model of managerial problem formulation which proposes that a key decision criterion for choosing among alternative managerial problem statements is the computational complexity (K-complexity) of the required solution algorithm of alternative problem statements. We distill many...
