presents Baccarini's definition of complexity in complex systems as affected bydifferentiation and interdependence. Differentiation is the number of different elements a systemhas, while interdependence is the number of interactions with others [7]. Williams also presentsTurner and Cochrane's definition of complexity from a continuous change and uncertaintyperspective where something is complex because of its unpredictable nature [7]. Ranganathan and Campbell present different complexity types used to evaluate adistributed computing system from a technical perspective. They mention cyclomatic complexity,size complexity, unpredictability, chaotic complexity, and algorithmic complexity [8]. Ofparticular importance for this paper, cyclomatic

cooperative, informal bank for the poor, institutionalized bank for the poor).In engineering, examination of case studies could shed light on what it means to beentrepreneurial in purely technical and conceptual contexts. Such an examination calls fortranslational activities that help unearth the mechanisms that embody the entrepreneurial method.These translational activities should synthesize and integrate entrepreneurship concepts intolarger frameworks, and illustrate how entrepreneurial principles apply across contexts.In this light, this paper provides a framework of entrepreneurship as a design philosophy, shownin Figure 1. Such a perspective describes entrepreneurship as a set of principles that areapplicable to multiple fields and problem
