Right and left, partisanship predicts (asymmetric) vulnerability to misinformation
We analyze the relationship between partisanship, echo chambers, and vulnerability to online misinformation by studying news sharing behavior on Twitter. While our results confirm prior findings that online misinformation sharing is strongly correlated with right-leaning partisanship, we also uncover a … Continue reading
Mutual anticipation can contribute to self-organization in human crowds
Human crowds provide paradigmatic examples of collective behavior emerging through self-organization. Understanding their dynamics is crucial to help manage mass events and daily pedestrian transportation. Although recent findings emphasized that pedestrians’ interactions are fundamentally anticipatory in nature, whether and how … Continue reading

Complexity and Self-Organization
Complexity occurs when relevant interactions prevent the study of elements of a system in isolation. These interactions between elements may lead to the self-organization of the system. A system can be described as self-organizing when its global properties are a … Continue reading
Transforming Education for Complexity
Drivers of transformation of education —we should consider consequencesof three main (and interrelated) drivers that “won’t go away in next20 years”: Digitalization + impact of automation of intellectual routine laborTurbulence or “strategic uncertainty”Need for transition towards sustainable civilization The new … Continue reading
Levels and degrees of emergence: toward a matrix of complexity
Emergence is at the core of entrepreneurship research, which has explored the coming-into-being of opportunities, new organisations, re-organisations, and new industries, agglomerations, and so on. Emergence is also at the theoretical core of complexity science, which is dedicated to exploring how and why emergence … Continue reading
Bringing Complexity into Social Analysis: Three Principles from Emergence
Systems are increasingly complex, and traditional theories and constructs don’t consider the dynamics of the social world. Through 60+ published papers exploring these complexity dynamics, I have summarized the differences into three core insights: Non-linearity, Interdependence, and Emergence. This brief review summarizes … Continue reading

Generative Emergence: A New Discipline of Organizational, Entrepreneurial, and Social Innovation
How do organizations become created? Entrepreneurship scholars have debated this question for decades, but only recently have they been able to gain insights into the non-linear dynamics that lead to organizational emergence, through the use of the complexity sciences. Written … Continue reading

The Dialogical Self: Toward a Theory of Personal and Cultural Positioning
The dialogical self proposes a far-reaching decentralization of both the concept of self and the concept of culture. At the intersection between the psychology of the self in the tradition of William James and the dialogical school in the tradition … Continue reading

Complexity theory
This book is designed to be an overview to the core concepts within complexity theory, presented in an intuitive form that should be accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject. Complexity theory is an exciting new area that is offering … Continue reading

Complexity explained
Complexity science also called complex systems science, studies how a large collection of components – locally interacting with each other at the small scales – can spontaneously self-organize to exhibit non-trivial global structures and behaviors at larger scales, often without external … Continue reading
