Interface as a design choice: How the implementation of interfaces influences coordination and performance in modular systems

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Modular systems play a central role in technological innovation. Such systems emerge when interdependencies among modules in a complex system are isolated through interfaces. While early seminal work highlighted the importance of interface design, subsequent research on modularity has largely overlooked it.

A Test of the Coase Conjecture Using Prices of Electronic Books

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Coase Conjecture predicts that a durable‐goods monopolist without commitment will rapidly cut price toward marginal cost. We test this prediction in the electronic‐book market using release‐day prices. To proxy for marginal cost, we use competitive prices of public‐domain electronic books on the same platforms.

The Viable Change Framework: Linking Theory of Change and Organisational Viability for Quality Enhancement in Higher Education

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Higher education institutions operate in complex environments that challenge conventional approaches to quality assurance, improvement and enhancement. Drawing on organisational cybernetics and complexity‐aware evaluation, this study develops a viable change framework (VCF) linking a programme's theory of change (ToC) with a viable system ...

Structural capacity of precast concrete walls with openings: A parametric study on connection types and reinforcement ratios

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.

A novel seismic connector for precast concrete shear walls

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract A critical aspect of the seismic performance of precast concrete walls is the deformation capacity of their connections, which can be limited by premature bar fracture, reinforcement buckling, or cyclic instability. This paper introduces and experimentally validates a new ultra‐ductile connector (UltraDC) that provides reliable force transfer ...
