We use new firm-level data to examine the effects of spinoffs and privatization on corporate performance in a rapidly … emerging market economy. Unlike the existing literature, which analyzes spinoffs almost exclusively in advanced economies, we … control for accompanying ownership changes and the fact that spinoffs and ownership are endogenous variables. We find that …

This conceptual paper investigates how the metaphorical use of concepts from complexity theory may impact the way we …, borrowed from complexity theory are presented. Fractal thinking allows self-similarity through the constants of initial …

There is increasing agreement that understanding complexity is important for project management because of difficulties … associated with decision-making and goal attainment which appear to stem from complexity. However the current operational … complexity can be measured in a robust manner that takes account of structural, dynamic and interaction elements. Thematic …

recent years has introduced new challenges. One challenge concerns dealing with the ever-growing complexity of business … process models. Mechanisms for dealing with this complexity can be classified into two categories: i) those that are solely …

complex projects. At the same time, complexity in and of projects has emerged as a theme for discussion and debate in response … projects and project complexity in practice. This paper reports on research, undertaken with support from the Project … landscape of “complexity theory” and illuminating those developments within it that have high relevance to project management …

In this paper we investigate the relationship between environmental complexity and … chronological sequences, the study explores the impact of complexity on decision-making processes.
