The application of systems thinking in health: why use systems thinking? (2014, background): “The term is associated with a wide variety of scientists, including the biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy who developed General System Theory; psychiatrist Ross Ashby and anthropologist Gregory Bateson who pioneered the field of cybernetics; Jay Forrester, a computer engineer who launched the field o”
NEW HORIZONS FOR MANAGING THE ENVIRONMENT: A REVIEW OF COUPLED SOCIAL‐ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS MODELING (2012, background): “Variability coping strategies are most studied in rangelands, where they have a long history (Niamir-Fuller [1999]). Temporal strategies store resources (forage or money, for example) in good times as a buffer against deficiencies in poor times (e.g., Quaas et al. [2007], Müller et al.”
The need for a complex systems model of evidence for public health. (2017, positive): “Techniques from other disciplines that are more advanced in complex systems methodologies, such as economics, climate change, and urban science, also need to be adopted and adapted.(30,31)”
A Third Wave in the Economics of Climate Change (2015, background): ““a computerized simulation of a number of decision-makers (agents) and institutions, which interact through prescribed rules” (Farmer and Foley 2009; Bonabeau 2002; Miller and Page 2007; Macal and North 2010).”
A Survey on the Coordination of Connected and Automated Vehicles at Intersections and Merging at Highway On-Ramps (2017, background): “In this direction, complex systems theory [95] appears to be a viable framework for modeling and analysis.”
Toward a three-dimensional framework for omni-channel (2017, neutral): “Based on the common definitions of complexity (Anderson, 1999; Vasconcelos, and Ramirez, 2011), and complex adaptive theory (Miller and Page, 2009; Pathak et al., 2007) omni-channel can be recognized as a complex adaptive system.”
Answering Schrödinger's question: A free-energy formulation (2017, neutral): “To date, research in EST has focused on complex adaptive systems—such as the brain [19,20], social systems [21], and the biosphere [22]—which adapt to the environment through an autonomous process of selection that recruits the outcomes of locally interacting components—within that system—to select ”
Time and the Entrepreneurial Journey: The Problems and Promise of Studying Entrepreneurship as a Process (2013, positive): “Such computational modeling is an important tool for deriving theoretical insights into interesting phenomena, particularly when they arise from complex interactions among many components (Miller and Page, 2007).”
Agent-Based Modeling in Marketing: Guidelines for Rigor (2011, background): “Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a tool that can help researchers understand and analyze these complex patterns (Epstein & Axtell, 1996; Gilbert & Troitzsch, 2005; Holland, 1995; LeBaron, 2000; Miller & Page, 2007).”
