The challenge of model complexity: improving the interpretation of large causal models through variety filters

(Wiley Interscience, 2017-04)
Schoenenberger, Lukas

Schwaninger, Markus

While large causal models provide detailed insights to the analysts who develop them, General users are often challenged by their omplexity. Commonly, these models overwhelm the cognitive capacities of human beings. The inaccessibility of large causal models is particularly regrettable when they deliver valuable expertise and information that should be shared with other researchers and ractitioners. To address this issue, we propose a set of tools—so-called variety filters—to reduce model complexity and promote the accurate interpretation of their results. These filters encompass interpretive model partitioning, structural model partitioning and algorithmic detection of archetypal structures (ADAS). We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed variety filters using the World3–2003 Model—a simulation model of remarkable complexity. The filters drastically attenuate the complexity while enhancing the comprehension of the model. Based on our findings, we derive implications for the use of complex models and their interpretation.

Enhancing Validity and Reliability through Feedback-driven Exploration : A Study in the Context of Conjoint Analysis

(Springer Science, 2013-06)
Boesch, Irene
;
Schwaninger, Markus
;
Weber, Michael
;
Scholz, Roland W.

This study proposes a research design for the enhancement of validity and reliability in conjoint analysis research. For this purpose, we are applying the concept of feedback-driven exploration to conjoint analysis and assess the proposed research design concerning its benefits and limitations in respect of validity and reliability of results. The article is of interest for the field of preference elicitation through stated preference methods, and for model validation in transdisciplinary research. By applying the principle of feedback-driven exploration, we allow for feedback loops between researchers, industry experts and survey participants in order to strengthen both validity and reliability. A multi-case study of the agricultural markets in Switzerland illustrates the functioning of the proposed research design. We find that feedback-driven exploration significantly increases validity and reliability by enhancing methodological rigor and implementing an error-correcting mechanism. Additionally, a better understanding of the underlying decision processes is supported by the design due to increased interaction between researchers, industry experts and market participants.

Implementing Strategies : The Strohhecker-Groessler Study and the Need for a New Way of Thinking

(Wiley, 2012-11)
Schwaninger, Markus

At the center of Strohhecker's and Groessler's contribution to this special issue is an experiment by which people's difficulties in implementing business strategies are examined. Social scientists would call it a ‘quasi-experiment' or ‘semi-experiment', which denotes a research design in which the allocation of members to groups is not randomized, and the independent variables are not manipulated by the researcher (Punch, 2005; Cooper and Schindler, 2011).
