- Business decision-making and complex thinking: a bibliometric study(Administrative Sciences, 2023-03-09) Ernesto Armando, Pacheco Velázquez; Vázquez Parra, Jorge Carlos; Cruz Sandoval, Marco; Salinas Navarro, David Ernesto; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; Institute for the Future of Education, Tecnologico de Monterrey; Aston Business School, Aston UniversityComplex thinking is an important tool for effective decision-making, as it helps people to better understand uncertain situations by considering the multiple variables and relationships involved in a situation, thus being able to identify patterns and connections that would not otherwise be evident. This article presents the results of a bibliometric study to identify academic publications that consider the correlation between decision-making in the business area and complex thinking competency and its sub-competencies. The intention was to have a theoretical horizon that provides a complete overview of the current academic situation regarding the correlation of both professional skills to identify areas of opportunity for new studies. Methodologically, we conducted a literature review using Scopus and Web of Science databases under the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol from which a sample of 339 articles related to both topics was obtained. R, Rstudio, and Bibliometrix were used for the quantitative analysis of the data. The results showed an academic tendency to associate decision-making in business with critical thinking, paying little attention to the other sub-competencies of complex thinking. Furthermore, we found a concentration of research in specific universities and countries, repeating a tendency to study only a few sub-competencies. Overall, this work sheds light on the broad opportunity to link the complex thinking macroc-ompetency with decision-making in business, to provide more extraordinary skills and tools to future professionals.
- Social entrepreneurship and complex thinking: validation of SEL4C methodology for scaling the perception of achieved competency(MDPI, 2023-02-10) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; Cruz Sandoval, Marco; Tecnologico de Monterrey; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey; Albright, JamesThis article aims to show the validated results of implementing a self-created methodology for developing the perceived achievement of social entrepreneurship competency and how this methodology is equally valid in developing the perceived achievement of complex thinking competency. Presenting a multivariate descriptive statistical analysis, this article offers the results of an educational intervention carried out on a sample group of students from a Mexican university before and after implementing the SEL4C (Social Entrepreneurship Learning for Complexity) methodology (developed by the Interdisciplinary Research Group IRG Reasoning for Complexity R4C at the Institute for the Future of Education IFE of the Tecnologico de Monterrey). It corroborates that the proposed methodology impacts the perceived achievement of social entrepreneurship competency and its sub-competencies and also manages to develop the perception of achievement of the complex thinking competency. This article contributes to the studies associated with the formation of competencies and the social entrepreneurship approach as a valid pedagogical tool for developing transversal skills.
- Complex thinking and social entrepreneurship. An approach from the methodology of compositional data analysis(Cell Press, 2023-02-01) Cruz Sandoval, Marco; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; Tecnologico de Monterrey; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyThis article describes a study that sought to identify the correlation between social entrepreneurship and complex thinking competencies in a population of Mexican students. The article uses the novel approach of compositional data analysis. Compositional data analysis focuses on studying data that are part of a whole, whose importance lies in the relative information between its parts and not in absolute values. The analysis allows us to identify an association between the competencies and find statistically significant relationships between sub-competencies. In particular, correlations can be seen between the sub-competencies of scientific thinking and critical thinking with the sub-competency of self-control, leadership, and social awareness and social value. Furthermore, a correlation is observed between systemic thinking with the sub-competency of social awareness and social value, self-control, and leadership sub-competencies. In a practical way, this article introduces the compositional data analysis methodology to the academic educational literature focused on the study and measurement of competencies, opening possibilities for more precise, broad, descriptive analyses not achieved with other methodologies.
