Trajectories of the Earth System in the Anthropocene (2018, background): “Features of such a strategy include (i) maintenance of diversity, modularity, and redundancy; (ii) management of connectivity, openness, slow variables, and feedbacks; (iii) understanding social–ecological systems as complex adaptive systems, especially at the level of the Earth System as a whole (8”
A Systems Perspective on Markets: Toward a Research Agenda (2017, background): “According to Capra and Luisi (2014), this approach challenges the dominant, mechanistic worldview that became deeply ingrained in virtually all fields of science until the late twentieth century.”
Service-dominant logic 2025 (2017, background): “As Capra and Luisi (2014) point out, it requires a shift in perspectives from parts to wholes, from objects to relationships, from measuring to mapping, from structures to processes, and from Cartesian certainty to approximate knowledge.”
The future of skills: employment in 2030 (2017, background): “It marks a shift from more reductionist and mechanistic forms of analysis and lends itself to pedagogical approaches such as game design and case method with evidence that it can contribute to interdisciplinary learning (Tekinbas et al., 2014; Capra and Luisi, 2014; Arnold and Wade, 2015).”
