Self-Fulfilling Prophecies in the Digital Age
Description:

We study self-fulfilling prophecies from the perspective of complex systems and management control, emphasizing the impact of digital technologies on their emergence and speed of fulfillment. We will gain new insights into the conditions for self-fulfillment and develop mechanisms to improve resilience against it.
