Big Data for Development: A Review of Promises and Challenges (2016, unknown): “Since explaining and predicting are notoriously different (Simon, 2002; Shmueli, 2010), blind prediction algorithms can disgracefully fail if the environment changes (Lazer et al., 2014), since the insights are based on the past, not on a general understanding of the overall context.”
Applying complexity theory to deepen service dominant logic: Configural analysis of customer experience-and-outcome assessments of professional services for personal transformations (2014, background): “Herbert Simon (2009) informs in his chapter in Simplicity, Inference and Modelling to the beauty in “finding pattern, especially simple pattern, in the midst of apparent complexity and disorder.””
