What the necessity mothers: energy shortage and the development of copper smelting furnaces, 1900-1980
An old adage tells us that necessity is the mother of invention. But if necessity were the prime mover of invention, why, then, there are so many really nifty technologies – say, antigravity – that would be obviously useful, yet … Continue reading

Simulating technological development: sneak peek!
As previously stated, we’re seeking to simulate the development, adoption, and modification – in short, the evolution – of technologies. Here’s a sneak peek of the sort of shiny output our computing clusters will soon be churning out. Hopefully . … Continue reading

ADDER: A proposal for an improved model for studying technological evolution
In this paper, me and Julia Kasmire from Delft University of Technology introduce an improved, simplified computer simulation model for studying technological evolution. The paper was presented by yours truly at the 26th European Conference on Modeling and Simulation in … Continue reading
Anarkistisen kauppatieteilijän manifesti (The Manifesto of an Anarchic Management Scholar)
The following is a short essay I wrote last year for the course “Developing professional skills in academic work.” In it, I outline some ideas how to do management research that is useless for those who wish to use it … Continue reading
