Unravelling Cascading Phenomena in Sociotechnical Systems: A Systematic Review and Modelling Framework

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates the characterization of cascading phenomena within sociotechnical systems through a systematic review and the development of a conceptual modelling framework. Cascading phenomena, often described using terms such as ripple effect, domino effect, cascading failure, risk propagation and cascading effect, capture the far‐
