This study presents a new model of search on a rugged landscape,ʺ which employs modeling techniques from fractal geometry rather than the now-familiar NK modeling technique. In our simulations, firms search locally in a two-dimensional fitness landscape, choosing moves in a way that responds...

We discuss how firms can replicate practices and knowledge embedded in practices by following principles, with no direct reference to an extant working example (template). Definitions are provided for the key concepts of templates, principles, and background knowledge. We address the challenges...
