复杂的挑战需要复杂的解决方案。就其性质而言，这些问题难以界定，而且往往是有效充当“陷阱”的僵硬社会结构的结果。然而，弹性理论和适应周期可以作为一个有用的框架，用于理解人类如何超越这些陷阱，走向解决许多复杂问题所需的社会创新。本文探讨了一个关键问题，即网络是否有助于促进创新，以弥合复杂问题中看似不可逾越的鸿沟，从而创造跨尺度的变化，从而提高弹性。有人认为，研究尚未充分阐明，为了实现跨规模的互动，必须在网络中存在战略机构。通过案例研究和实例分析制度企业家精神，本文提出网络中的代理需要企业家具备特定的技能，包括模式生成、关系建立和中介、知识和资源中介以及网络充电。最终，这将开始建立一个更完整的理解，即网络如何提高人类应对复杂问题的能力，并提高整体复原力。
Complex challenges demand complex solutions. By their very nature, these problems are difficult to define and are often the result of rigid social structures that effectively act as "traps". However, resilience theory and the adaptive cycle can serve as a useful framework for understanding how humans may move beyond these traps and towards the social innovation that is required to address many complex problems. This paper explores the critical question of whether networks help facilitate innovations to bridge the seemingly insurmountable chasms of complex problems to create change across scales, thereby increasing resilience. The argument is made that research has not yet adequately articulated the strategic agency that must be present within the network in order for cross scale interactions to occur. By examining institutional entrepreneurship through case studies and examples, this paper proposes that agency within networks requires specific skills from entrepreneurs, including ones that enable pattern generation, relationship building and brokering, knowledge and resource brokering, and network recharging. Ultimately, this begins to build a more complete understanding of how networks may improve human capacity to respond to complex problems and heighten overall resilience.
