Judicial systems are composed of complex sub-systems operating in an autonomous, yet interconnected ways. Thus, any policy that might be implemented to improve their efficiency is largely based on theoretical assumptions and knowledge of other similar systems. However, policy makers need tools that could assist them in designing policies that would illustrative both the positive […]
The paper “The Tragedy of the Commons” by Hardin in 1968 highlighted the potential depletion of shared resources due to the self-interested behavior of individuals. This study sparked interest in scholars to understand how individuals make sense of shared resources and how to prevent over-exploitation. Elinor Ostrom challenged the assumption of the rational actor and […]
In this study, we focus on the modeling of the judicial system through a suite of System Dynamics. More specifically, employing a participatory modeling approach (GMB – Group Model Building) based on the System Thinking methodology, we have developed Causal Loop Diagrams, which we have then transformed into quantitative models through the modeling and simulation […]
Nowadays, companies works in a context characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. In this scenario, digital technologies represent an important means to enable organizations and entrepreneurs to adapt in an efficient way to the changing external conditions. Digital transformation is considered one of the most important topic for the European Commission and the Organisation […]
With the introduction of the third mission concept, universities have been increasingly asked to perform different activities besides teaching and researching, outreaching knowledge outside their boundaries and assuming a leading role in fostering innovation in modern knowledge-intensive societies. However, how do the three academic missions pursued by entrepreneurial universities interact with each other? To what […]
This study investigates how managers and entrepreneurs can learn about the interplay between leadership and followership from jazz musicians. The jazz metaphor is no stranger to management, with application in several fields such as organisation theory, innovation and leadership. The finest expression of jazz occurs during the “jam sessions”, described as relatively informal musical events […]
How do people’s beliefs on the likely system-level consequences of circulating a certain piece of knowledge influence those people’s knowledge behaviors? To address this question, we leverage the most recent developments of the theory of the commons as learning systems. According to this theory, people are strongly responsive to perceived threats to the commons they […]
Since technology, institutions and markets continuously change, business models are also dynamic configurations that evolve through micro- adaptations and/or disruptive changes. This dynamism enables economic resilience, that is, the (re)generation of system-level economic sustainability, mainly through the mechanism that in the entrepreneurship literature is called “creative destruction”. But what about social and environmental resilience? How, […]
