Although some companies already have introduced the role of a chief knowledge officer, knowledge management is not treated as a strategic endeavour. Furthermore, contributions from an academic point of view are scarce in the field of the strategic issues of knowledge management. This paper contributes with some insight in pointing out ...

Artificial Life Simulation of the Textile/Apparel Marketplace: An Innovative Approach to Strategizing about Evloving Markets

A-Life techniques allow researchers to build rigorous, replicable simulations of non-linear systems. The simulations are laboratories where the behavior of adaptive agents can be observed across time, rule sets can be recalibrated to investigate different scenarios, and emerging patterns of behavior can be identified and interpreted. The aim of A-Life simulation, like all computer modeling, is ...

Second, nearly all managers hold very inaccurate perceptions of both their firms and their market environments. Third, no one can forecast accurately over the long term.
