Reductionism in Cognitive Science

The paper also aims to visit the notions of implementation, realization and explanation with respect to reduction as they might be relevant. Only epistemic reduction and its features are discussed in order to restrict the scope of this paper though other forms of reduction exist. Opinions on reductions in general are presented in the final section.

A cybernetics perspective of cross-cultural issues and entrepreneurship research

J. for Global Business Advancement, Vol.5, No.3, pp.193 - 208, Mar 12, 2013

The current conditions in economies like that of the UAE and their multi-cultural environment/markets make tactful cross-cultural interactions with stake holders, suppliers, customers and employees a key challenge to entrepreneurial success. This conceptual paper provides a review of entrepreneurship and its relation to cultural constructs, an introduction to control theory as a basis for modelling human behaviour and a proposed framework for researching entrepreneurial behaviour through a control theoretic model. Certain postulates regarding entrepreneurial success, potential government policies for economies like the UAE and practical managerial implications for entrepreneurs are provided based on the model's interpretations.
