Purpose – To study the effect of Knightian uncertainty – as opposed to statistical estimation error – in the evaluation of value‐at‐risk (VaR) of financial investments. To develop methods for augmenting existing VaR estimates to account for Knightian uncertainty....

Purpose – This paper aims to present a framework enriching currency risk analyses based on information theory. Design/methodology/approach – Information-theoretic measures of predictability (entropy rate) and co-dependence (mutual information) are used to enhance existing methods of...

Last century, J.R. Galbraith discussed the relationship between the amount of information an organisation processes and its structure. J.D. Thompson discussed a related topic of task interdependence and coordination. Given that the processing and management of information is the basis of...

Purpose – The purpose is to reflect on writing a PhD proposal. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is a poem based on the author's experience. Findings – This is meditation on how the topic, theory and method for a research project all need to be fine‐tuned, so they are in balance....

Purpose – The purpose of this manuscript is to quantify exactly how much information and/or predictive content is contained in business sentiment surveys. Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses techniques drawn from information theory econometrics, and more specifically the theory of...

Purpose – The paper seeks to outline an approach to a unified framework for understanding the concept of “information” in the physical, biological and human domains, and to see what links and interactions may be found between them. It also aims to re‐examine the information science...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the extent to which understanding information science (IS) and information retrieval (IR) as disciplines characterised by intractable dilemmas is a useful conceptual framework through reviewing and re‐evaluating an important contribution to...
