  2. 1. Learning ecosystem complexity : A study on small-scale fishers’ ecological knowledge generation

    Author : Diana Garavito-Bermúdez; Camilla Thunborg; Cecilia Lundholm; Beatrice Crona; Alan Reid; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; small-scale fishers; informal learning; knowledge generation; systems thinking; ecological knowledge; ecosystem complexity; work practices; emotional bonds to place; sustainable fisheries management; environmental learning; Vättern; Blekinge; Baltic Sea.; pedagogik; Education;

    Abstract : Small-scale fisheries are learning contexts of importance for generating, transferring, and updating ecological knowledge of natural environments through everyday work practices. The rich knowledge fishers have of local ecosystems is the result of the intimate relationship fishing communities have had with their natural environments across generations (see e. READ MORE

  4. 2. Adaptive Logistics - Using Complexity Theory to Facilitate Increased Effectiveness in Logistics

    Author : Fredrik Nilsson; Förpackningslogistik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; complexity thinking ; epistemology; logistics; logistics systems ; paradigm; Teknik; Technological sciences; complexity theory ;

    Abstract : Logistics is gaining increased attention in companies since interconnectivity is increasing, and the interdependence among actors is enhanced due to challenges organizations are facing today (market changes, novel strategies, and technological improvements). While the logistics discipline has been characterized by an efficiency focus based on positivistic assumptions, the challenges of today require a focus on effectiveness i. READ MORE

  6. 4. Decision making in construction projects

    Author : Eija Meriläinen; Elina Mäkelä; Karlos Artto; Finland Esbo Aalto University; []
    Keywords : SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; construction project; decision; decision making; complexity; systems thinking;

    Abstract : The thesis draws the focus to the construction project organization and the decisions that are taken to advance the project towards its purpose. Decisions are seen as thrusts towards the purpose, the client's peak in the fitness landscape, and they are taken to cross the chasm between the current and the goal state.
