Evolution of networks
TL;DR: The recent rapid progress in the statistical physics of evolving networks is reviewed, and how growing networks self-organize into scale-free structures is discussed, and the role of the mechanism of preferential linking is investigated.
Book
How to Solve It: Modern Heuristics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of heuristics for solving problems with probability and statistics, including the Traveling Salesman Problem and the Problem of Who Owns the Zebra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complexity Leadership Theory: Shifting leadership from the industrial age to the knowledge era !
TL;DR: According to Hitt (1998), "we are on the precipice of an epoch, in the midst of a new economic age, in which twenty-first century organizations are facing a complex competitive landscape driven largely by globalization and the technological revolution" as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-equilibrium critical phenomena and phase transitions into absorbing states
TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent developments in non-equilibrium statistical physics is presented, focusing on phase transitions from fluctuating phases into absorbing states, the universality class of directed percolation is investigated in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supply networks and complex adaptive systems: Control versus emergence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that many supply networks emerge rather than result from purposeful design by a singular entity and that the emergent patterns in a supply network can much better be managed through positive feedback, which allows for autonomous action.

Emergent complex neural dynamics
TL;DR: Viewing the brain in terms of collective dynamics is one approach now yielding some insight.
