Balancing Permission and Prohibition
The first wave of global trade, in which the Dutch East India Company (VOC) was a key player, writ large the problem of how “principals” could ensure that overseas “agents” protected company interests. The two principal mechanisms were suppression of opportunism and permission of agents to engage in private trade. There is near consensus in past research that the rigidity of the VOC in not permitting private trade left it unable to emulate more n…
The dynamics of risk in innovation
This study examines the mechanisms of risk management in innovation by relating several types of innovation at different risk levels to micro- and macro-level ageing processes. Using archival data from the "Metropolitan Opera" in New York, a time-series analysis reveals how the rate and type of artistic innovation are influenced by ageing at the industry/organizational and executive levels. If the opera repertory has hardened over time, innovatio…
The Explosive Rise of a Political Party
What is it that makes events difficult to predict? Starting with the assumption that unpredictability is commensurate with complexity, the article examines a highly complex process of discontinuous change, defined as ‘ sudden convergence’ —spontaneous, momentary correlation between components or preferences that were heretofore unrelated. This process is illustrated through the rise of ‘Ataka’—a nationalist–populist party in Bulgaria, which attai…

The analysis shows that the main reason for the occurrence of status-devaluation is the experience of relative deprivation in postcommunism, reflected in unfulfilled expectations and the perception of status loss relative to socialism. The b…
