This book highlights research on the behavioral biases affecting judgmental accuracy in judgmental forecasting and showcases the state-of-the-art in judgment-based predictive analytics. In recent years, technological advancements have made it possible to use predictive analytics to exploit highly complex (big) data resources. Consequently, modern forecasting methodologies are based on sophisticated algorithms from the domain of machine learning and deep learning. However, research shows that in the majority of industry contexts, human judgment remains an indispensable component of the...

Over the last ten years, elements of the formalism of quantum mechanics have been successfully applied beyond physics in areas such as psychology (especially cognition), economics and finance (especially in the formalization of so-called ‘decision making’), political science, and molecular biology. An important stream of work along these lines, commonly under the heading of quantum-like modeling, has been published in well regarded scientific journals, and major publishers have devoted entire books to the topic. This Festschrift honors a key figure in this field of...

This book continues the ongoing debate about the need for alternative, interdisciplinary and heterodox approaches to teaching economics at university.  It deals with challenges currently faced by economists, pursues an interdisciplinary approach to enhance collaboration with academics from disciplines other than economics, and analyses several questions and issues related to the 2007-08 financial crisis and the current Covid-19 emergency.  The Covid pandemic has shown the flaws of the current neoliberal model and the inability of mainstream economic theory to address the problems...

This book provides an overview of recent developments of complexity theory within the realm of social sciences. At a time when global and local social, political, cultural, and economic affairs are engulfed in chaos, this book sheds light on the mechanisms of uncertainties, offering new visions and frameworks for analyzing the nonlinear interactions between individuals, societies, and the environment.

From exploring the foundational elements that shape our understanding of humanity, such as worldviews, justice, and trust, to applying complexity theory in the realms of politics,...

This edited volume discusses time and fractal phenomena in economics, entrepreneurship, and management. Chapters embrace a wide spectrum of topics, such as time series analysis of entrepreneurial orientation, theoretical research on the effectiveness of time management in dynamics of employee-organization relationship, the degradation of goals over time and how ambiguity and managerial cognition shape distributions of project time and cost, and fractal characteristics in energy markets and organizations. Revealing emerging aspects of time and fractals across disciplines, this volume...
