Abstract

Measuring and managing a firm's performance in complex settings are at the center of the debate in business management studies in recent years. The causal ambiguity condition that affects the dynamics of value creation makes it difficult to achieve a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning economic value. Thus, a conceptualization of the firm as a complex entity and a complexity management model are proposed, with the aim to contribute towards improving the disentanglement of the messy nature of the process of economic value creation. Finally, building on the assumption that financial and quantitative measures should always be the end goal of the process of the firm's economic value measurement, the most important models and metrics of value creation are reported.
