Ontological uncertainty and innovation
David Lane,Robert Maxfield +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the relationship between uncertainty and innovation, and develop some implications of ontological uncertainty for innovation processes at three levels of organization, by means of three theories: a narrative theory of action at the level of individual economic actors, the theory of generative relationships at the meso-level of agent interaction, and a theory of scaffolding structures at the macro level of market systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategy under Complexity: Fostering Generative Relationships
David Lane,Robert Maxfield +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that strategy in the face of complex foresight horizons should consist in an on-going set of practices that interpret and construct the relationships which comprise the world in which the firm acts.

Foresight, Complexity, and Strategy
David Lane,Robert Maxfield +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that strategy in the face of complex foresight horizons should consist of an on-going set of practices that interpret and construct the relationships that comprise the world in which the firm acts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Choice and action
TL;DR: The authors argue that rational choice provides an inadequate foundation for a theory of economic action and propose an alternative foundation for economic action that builds on the critique of rational choice presented in this paper, and argue that most economic agents lack the judgement and execution coherence required by RC.
Journal ArticleDOI
General equilibrium and the theory of directed graphs
TL;DR: In this paper, the Arrow-Debreu existence theorem for a general equilibrium requires an assumption of positive endowments of all commodities by all consumers, and it is proved that the existence of a competitive equilibrium is related to the strong connectedness of the graph.
