A power game: simulating the long-term development of an electricity market in a competitive game

"This paper demonstrates the benefit of conducting analyses of methods with the aid of a theory Such an approach provides a clear basis for analysing different methods that could in turn be compared with each other. This approach is demonstrated through the critical analysis of advanced systematic inventive thinking (ASIT) – a practical method – using the C–K theory, a design theory that offers a formal model of creative thinking. The analysis uncovers a paradox in ASIT operation: being creative while ‘staying in the box’.
