This article considers cognitive distance and combined competence as predictors of concrete outcomes in co-operative Research and Development projects. The operationalisation is based upon a dedicated survey, answered by matched pairs of projects managers in partnering organisations, addressing...

To control and price negative externalities in passenger road transport, we develop an innovative and integrated computational agent based economics (ACE) model to simulate a market oriented "cap" and trade system. (i) First, there is a computational assessment of a digitized road network model...

Experimentation is a significant innovation process activity and its design isfundamental to the learning and knowledge build-up process. Front-loadedexperimentation is known as a strategy seeking to improve innovation processperformance; by exploiting early information to spot and solve problems...

The cumulative output of these papers emphasise that modelling organisationalevolution and change from a complex systems perspective makes a significantcontribution to organisational studies and brings new insight and understandings bothto theory and practice. It is also true that the studies...

The present Systematic Review explores the existing academic literature on theinstruments to measure collective competences of organisations. The purpose is toidentify those that could be further used in a PhD work on the competences oforganisations involved in co-operative R&D projects. This...

A complex adaptive systems approach has been permeating organizational studies andthe field of supply network management helping to describe and explain supplynetwork dynamics and emergent inter-firm structures. This has improved ourtheoretical knowledge of the nature of supply networks...

This article considers cognitive distance and combined competence as predictors of success in co-operative Research and Development (R&D) projects of firms. The concepts of cognitive distance and combined competence are operationalised based upon a dedicated survey, answered by matched pairs of...
