In a two person game, the Liar strategy falsifies or subverts the predictable outcomes of the other person’s strategy. Following the Gödelian argument of Binmore(1987), we prove that the best response to the Liar strategy in the Nash equilibrium of the game are surprise strategies. Computable game theory permits the surprise/innovation to be modelled by a total computable best response function...

In this paper we describe a fuzzy Description Logic reasoner which implements resolution in order to provide reasoning services for expressive fuzzy DLs. The main innovation of this implementation is the ability to reason over assertions with abstract (unspecified) fuzzy degrees. The answer to queries is, consequently, an algebraic expression involving the (unknown) fuzzy degrees and the degree...

Extant literature is inconclusive regarding how adoption of logistics information technology affects various measures of performance. We propose that an organization’s adoption of logistics information technology is positively related to increased levels of efficiency, effectiveness, and flexibility and contrary findings may be partially attributed to the moderating role of a positive buyer-sup...

Business model innovations (BMIs) are one of the key activities organizations must undertake to survive and thrive. As information systems (IS) penetrate more and more aspects of life, they become an important factor affecting both the process and the outcome of business model innovations. The increased importance of IS in a growing number of industries has led various researchers to focus on e...

This paper makes an original contribution to the responsible research and innovation (RRI) discourse, with an inquiry into the extent to which risk, risk assessment, or risk management, including ethical and social issues, is relevant to companies. As a core component of the higher or “meta-responsibility” of RRI, an investigation of practices and attitudes towards risks can provide us with a w...

This research introduces the scale of innovation intensity (SIIN) based on meta-taxonomy that subsumes other, less comprehensive taxonomies. The SIIN is similar to seismic scale used to measure the intensity of earthquakes. The intensity of technological change is measured by an indicator, called Magnitude, based on the impact of technological innovations on the economic system. The theory is a...
