Modularity and Innovation in Complex Systems
The problem of designing, coordinating, and managing complex systems has been central to the management and organizations literature. Recent writings have tended to offer modularity as, at least, a partial solution to this design problem. However, little attention has been paid to the problem of identifying what constitutes an appropriate modularization of a complex system. We develop a formal ...
متن کاملPrediction & modularity in complex dynamical systems
Modularity is a concept of central importance in the study of complex systems. Broadly speaking, modular systems are composed of tightly-integrated subsystems, called modules, which are in turn weakly coupled to one another. Despite its widespread use, the meaning and operationalization of modularity varies widely between scientific paradigms, fields, and processes of interest. We are intereste...
متن کاملModularity and the Spread of Perturbations in Complex Dynamical Systems
We propose a method to decompose dynamical systems based on the idea that modules constrain the spread of perturbations. We find partitions of system variables that maximize "perturbation modularity," defined as the autocovariance of coarse-grained perturbed trajectories. The measure effectively separates the fast intramodular from the slow intermodular dynamics of perturbation spreading (in th...
متن کاملIndicators for Complex Innovation Systems
Performance indicators such as national wealth (GDP per capita), R&D intensity (GERD/GDP) and scientific impact (citaions/paper) are used to compare innovation systems. These indicators are derived from the ratio of primary measures such as opulation, GDP, GERD and papers. Frequently they are used to rank members of an innovation system and to inform decision makrs. This is illustrated by the E...
متن کاملEnabling Innovation in Complex Welfare Service Systems
This paper explores the potential for innovation in welfare services. Using the complexity lens, the paper presents a theoretically founded basis for enabling innovation in complex public-private welfare service systems. The empirical data was collected by conducting semi-structured interviews with leading office holders responsible for social services in the City of Helsinki (Finland) and exec...
