A Review of the Intercultural Paradigm


Book Description

Document from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, language: English, abstract: As this research comes to its provisional end, after an exploration of the inner-outer horizons of culture in quest for a missing link for its management in line with the requirements of our global, multicultural age in global business, geopolitics and other material and immaterial systems, we may assume that, based on a more complete representation of human nature we are approaching more comprehensive cultural solutions as well. If one succeeds in embedding the intercultural acquis in the holistic structure of man with its naturally beneficial axiomatic for the individual and society, locally, regionally and globally, the hoped for global cultural Eldorado is within human reach, whatever negativity may seem to bar the way. We have extended human cultural awareness so as to understand it within the context of life as a whole, where it reveals itself as a factor of wholistic human identity, evolution and enhanced creativity, unless it is mismanaged due to limited cultural awareness.

Paradigms in Theory Construction


Book Description

Within the field of psychology there is a proliferation of paradigms, theories, models, and dimensions without an underlying conceptual framework or theory. This conclusion has been reached by representatives of many different psychological specialties. In response to this inconsistency this book presents a hierarchical framework about important theoretical issues that are present in psychological thinking. These issues concern definitions of three major theoretical concepts in theory and practice: (a) paradigms, (b) theories, and (c) models. It focuses on defining, comparing, and contrasting these three conceptual terms. This framework clarifies differences among paradigms, theories, and models, terms which have become increasingly confused in the psychological literature. Paradigms are usually confused with theories or with models while theories are confused with models. Examples of misuses of these terms suggest the need for a hierarchical structure that views paradigms as conceptual constructions overseeing a variety of psychological theories and verifiable models.
