The NK model is suitable for depicting interdependent variables in managerial problems.
“The solution space is adapted from the NK model [24] which is deemed suitable because it depicts the interdependent variables in managerial problems [5, 9, 15, 17].”
From Closed-mindedness and insulation in groupthink: their effects and the devil’s advocacy as a preventive measure (2021) · cites this paper as [17]
The proposed model is based on the abstraction of group decision making as a search over the NK landscape, which is suitable because it captures the interdependent variables nature of managerial decision problems and is relevant to decision making in realistic situations.
“The proposed model is based on the abstraction of group decision making as a search over the NK landscape which is suitable because it captures the interdependent variables nature of managerial decision problems [5, 9, 15, 17] and relevant to decision making in the realistic situations [5, 17].”
From Closed-mindedness and insulation in groupthink: their effects and the devil’s advocacy as a preventive measure (2021) · cites this paper as [17]
The NK model has been proven to be empirically relevant and plausible in explaining and predicting decision making under realistic situations.
“Besides, the NK model also has been proven to be empirically relevant and plausible not only in explaining but also in predicting decision making under realistic situations [5, 17].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
