This study aims to investigate the influence of the big-5 personality traits on causation and effectuation decision-making logics using the entrepreneurial process theory. This is an empirical study based on 113 surveys of managers/entrepreneurs from the Estonian IT sector. The questionnaire was...

In contrast to the conventional fund management industry with a profit-oriented logic based on risk and return, ethical and faith-based funds should follow the religious principles of their investment-style philosophy. Islamic funds should obey the theological teachings of the primary sources of...

Although it is not still clear if the time passing is a result of world changing, or reversely, the world changing is a result of the time passing, I think it is very clear the changing in the external and internal world of the subject is real. The paper examines, from a logical point of view,...

Whereas game theorists and logicians use formal methods to investigate ideal strategic behavior, many cognitive scientists use computational cognitive models of the human mind to predict and simulate human behavior. In this paper, we aim to bring these fields closer together by creating a...

This paper examines the consequences that result when model theory, and by implication all of (mathematical) logic, is no longer based on a correspondence theory of truth.The introductory section sets out to show that the programme of removing correspondence thinking is positive for model...

Many science support mechanisms aim to combine excellent research with explicit expectations of societal impact. Temporary research centres such as "Centres of Excellence" and "Centre of Excellence in Research and Innovation" have become widespread. These centres are expected to produce research...

The vast literature on judicial behavior in China has generated valuable insights, yet huge gaps remain open. Lacking in particular is a coherent and trans-substantive analytical framework that can demystify the complex and elusive boundary between Chinese law and politics and explain major...

In this paper one generalizes the intuitionistic fuzzy logic (IFL) and other logics to neutrosophic logic (NL). The differences between IFL and NL (and the corresponding intuitionistic fuzzy set and neutrosophic set) are pointed out

This paper develops a game-theoretic and epistemic account of a peculiar mode of practical reasoning that sustains focal points but also more general forms of rule-following behavior which I call community-based reasoning (CBR). It emphasizes the importance of counterfactuals in strategic...

The modeling of awareness and unawareness is a significant topic in the doxastic logic literature, where it is usually tackled in terms of full belief operators. The present paper aims at a treatment in terms of partial belief operators. It draws upon the modal probabilistic logic that was...

This article considers the normal form in logic. Any propositional function, i.e. any finite logical expression, can be written in such a form. This indicates the possibility of an unequivocal logical representation of many different objects investigated in science and everyday life. The...

In this article, basic aspects of the argumentation, the argumentation relations with the concept of logical inference and illustration argumentation on international comparative policy analysis are presented. The argumentation is understood as part of a deliberative process reasons for or...
