The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Creating value through foresight : first mover advantages and strategic agility (2015, methodology): “Scholars developed tools for managing uncertainty at the level of innovation projects (Chapman and Ward, 1996; De Meyer et al., 2002), capital budgeting and capital structure policies (Bromiley, 1986; Graham and Harvey, 2001; Leland, 1998).”
On Uncertainty, Ambiguity, and Complexity in Project Management (2002, background): “We have begun to discuss our insights with managers to develop robust decision rules (see De Meyer et al. 2002).”
Quality Control and Due Diligence in Project Management: Getting Decisions Right by Taking the Outside View (2013, background): “The existing literature on quality control, due diligence, and risk assessment in project management does not cover this particular approach to improved decision making (Breakwell, 2007; De Meyer et al., 2002; Fischoff, 2002; Perminova et al., 2008; Winch, 2010).”
Agile Project Management —Agilism versus Traditional Approaches (2008, background): “This type of project goal uncertainty is also referred to as "chaos" as "often the project ends up with final results that are completely different from the project's original intent" [16].”
