dc.description.abstract
The development of path-dependent processes basically refers to positive
feedback in terms of increasing returns as the main driving forces of such
processes. Furthermore, path dependence can be affected by context factors,
such as different degrees of complexity. Up to now, it has been unclear
whether and how different settings of complexity impact path-dependent
processes and the probability of lock-in. In this paper we investigate the
relationship between environmental complexity and path dependence by means of
an experimental study. By focusing on the mode of information load and
decision quality in chronological sequences, the study explores the impact of
complexity on decision-making processes. The results contribute to both the
development of path-dependence theory and a better understanding of decision-
making behavior under conditions of positive feedback. Since previous path
research has mostly applied qualitative case-study research and (to a minor
part) simulations, this paper makes a further contribution by establishing an
experimental approach for research on path dependence.
