Linking social systems failure of marriages and firms: A short note Padhi, Sidhartha S.; Zangera, Ingmar; Wagnera, Stephan M. This study investigates the failure of social systems and tries to find a plausible mechanism. We observe stretched exponential distributions for failure of marriages in the U.S., UK, and Germany and extend evidence for power laws in large firms’ failure in the U.S., and worldwide. Since summation of stretched exponentials leads to power laws, one can establish an underlying principle to link different types of social systems failure like marriages and firms. Moreover, we postulate the generation of these fat-tailed distributions in social systems failure can be explained by the least effort principle of Zipf and suggest to increase initial efforts at individual level through marriage counseling, or stakeholder synchronization to reduce failures. 2444-569X/© 2017 Journal of Innovation & Knowledge.

Higher Education Needs a Longer View Balakrishnan, Pulapre The decline and fall of the publicly-funded higher education system in india has its origins in the fact that there has been a steady expansion of institutions without any concern for quality of the faculty. Unless such issues are addressed, merely increasing the number of the seats will prove counterproductive.
