Introducing Critical Systems Heuristics 2.0: A Third Boundary Extending CSH From Reflections on Critical Realism in Information Systems Research

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Poorly designed information systems compel employees to find workarounds for the system in order to do their work properly. However, such workarounds compromise the enforcement of organisational governance. In our sense‐making of this specific phenomenon, we considered critical realism as a framework for understanding based on its adoption in ...

Unpacking Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Elements: Insights Into Drivers of Entrepreneurial Activity

open access: yesThunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thriving entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) are instrumental in new enterprise creation and growth, as they provide vital support for entrepreneurial activity.

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

Towards an anthropology of acquisition: ‘How did you get that?’ Vers une anthropologie de l'acquisition : « Où as‐tu trouvé ça ? »

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The production‐distribution‐consumption triad has structured how anthropologists understand exchange for roughly a century. This article argues for expanding this triad to include an explicit focus on acquisition – the systems, processes, and practices of acquiring.

Aggregated Compensation Peer Group Disclosure and Managerial Labor Market Competition: A Network Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we develop novel measures of managerial labor market classification and competition by constructing networks of compensation benchmarking peers disclosed in proxy statements. These networks represent firms’ relative positions within the managerial labor market.

Open-ended Learning in Symmetric Zero-sum Games [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Zero-sum games such as chess and poker are, abstractly, functions that evaluate pairs of agents, for example labeling them `winner' and `loser'. If the game is approximately transitive, then self-play generates sequences of agents of increasing strength.

Price Setting on a Network

open access: yesThe RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I study price setting within a network of interconnected monopolists. Some firms possess stronger commitment or bargaining power than others, enabling them to influence the pricing decisions of other firms. Although it is well‐understood that multiple marginalization reduces both total profits and social welfare, I show that strategic ...
