Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Applying Complexity for Creative Emergence - Part 2   Order a copy of this article
    by Anneloes Smitsman, Alexander Laszlo, Sudip Patra 
    Abstract: This is the second article of a two-part series exploring how to work with the complexity of life for societal and human development. We explore the application of relational quantum and evolutionary systemic perspectives for working with complexity as a transformative process. As such, we consider how our world can be attracted into transformative emergence by working with the imaginal potential of complex systems and developing three essential evolutionary capabilities. Systemic tipping point and trim tab dynamics are explored as attractors and affordances for creative emergence, rather than restricting consideration through reliance on mechanistic tools of regulation and control. This is followed by a brief exploration of emerging quantum-like modelling approaches to decision-making in a universe of fundamental uncertainty. We conclude our two-article series with an exploration of new narratives for healing
    Keywords: tipping points; trim tabs; state attractors; systems thinking; quantum potential; transformation; bifurcation point; imaginal domains; evolutionary capabilities; new narratives.

  • Cooperatives, commons and ethical human capabilities development   Order a copy of this article
    by Christophe Faugere, Xavier Hollandts, Bernard Paranque 
    Abstract: We propose a mechanism for funding human capabilities development when other resource channels (markets, banks, government policy, or NGOs) are lacking or deficient. We present the conceptual framework for a new type of multi-stakeholder cooperative whose members include: 1) individuals or communities seeking funding to expand their members human capabilities; 2) other funding members; 3) human capabilities enhancement service providers. Governance rules follow cooperative operational logic and cultural commons management structure. We innovate by creating human capabilities equity shares that the cooperative sells to funding members. These shares trade only under strict guidelines between members. We argue this design is superior from ethical and efficiency standpoints to existing solutions that attempt to market human capital.
    Keywords: commons; cooperatives; human capabilities; capital; freedoms; self-ownership rights.

  • Scenario planning approach for strategic business development in telecommunications: a case study of Telkom Akses   Order a copy of this article
    by Toni Satrio, Siska Noviaristanti 
    Abstract: This study aims to formulate adaptive business development strategies for Telkom Akses through scenario planning to address future uncertainties in the telecommunications sector. Using qualitative methods literature review and in-depth interviews the research identifies two key uncertainties: the level of government commitment to digital transformation and the industrys capability to adopt new technologies. From these, four plausible future scenarios are constructed: integrated digital collaboration, national digital leap, stalled innovation and systemic lag. Each scenario reveals different strategic implications for Telkom Akses. The studys findings highlight that strengthening digital infrastructure investment, fostering service innovation, building multi-stakeholder collaboration, and enhancing digital talent development are common strategies that can increase organisational resilience. These results provide actionable insights for improving Telkom Akses competitiveness, financial health, and long-term sustainability in a dynamic and uncertain environment.
    Keywords: scenario planning; strategic foresight; Telkom Akses; business strategy; critical uncertainty.
