Applying Scientific Reasoning to the Field of Marketing:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grapentine, Terry, PUBLISHER: Business Expert Press, Marketing decisions often misfire when driven more by beliefs than knowledge. Make Better Marketing Decisions: Lessons from ong>theong> Philosophy of Science, guides readers on how to think more clearly and correctly when making ong>theong>se decisions, ong>theong>reby increasing organizational success. ong>Theong> book is based on ong>theong> field of epistemology--ong>theong> study of how knowledge is created--within ong>theong> philosophy of science. Epistemology is a difficult subject with its own vocabulary and concepts that are often esoteric and considered too academic for marketing decision makers and researchers to apply. Consequently, ong>theong> first sections of ong>theong> book disabuse this notion by explaining why incorporating a scientific way of viewing ong>theong> world and ong>theong> scientific method is actually a practical way to make better decisions. ong>Theong>se introductory chapters transition into a more formal discussion of philosophy of science, epistemology, and why marketing is a social science as opposed to merely an art or a practice, like medicine or engineering. ong>Theong> main body of ong>theong> book ong>theong>n guides ong>theong> reader through selected lessons from ong>theong> philosophy of science to improve decision making. Example topics are (1) applying scientific reasoning to decision making, (2) differentiating between symptoms vs. causes of consumer behavior, and (3) understanding ong>theong> importance of ong>theong>ory development in translating information into understanding. ong>Theong> book concludes by identifying ong>theong> necessary conditions for applying philosophy of science's lessons to decision making and how to strike ong>theong> proper balance between (1) allocating resources for knowledge creation, and (2) managing ong>theong> day-to-day realities of running a business.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sherratt, Yvonne, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Yvonne Sherratt argues for ong>theong> importance of an historical understanding of ong>theong> continental traditional approach to social science in order to appreciate its individual, humanist character.

Error and Inference: Recent Exchanges on Experimental

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mayo, Deborah G. / Spanos, Aris, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Although both philosophers and scientists are interested in how to obtain reliable knowledge in ong>theong> face of error, ong>theong>re is a gap between ong>theong>ir perspectives that has been an obstacle to progress. By means of a series of exchanges between ong>theong> editors and leaders from philosophy of science, statistics, and economics, this volume offers a cumulative introduction connecting problems of traditional philosophy of science to problems of inference in statistical and empirical modeling practice. Philosophers of science and scientific practitioners are challenged to reevaluate ong>theong> assumptions of ong>theong>ir own ong>theong>ories - philosophical or methodological. Practitioners may better appreciate ong>theong> foundational issues around which ong>theong>ir questions revolve and ong>theong>reby become better "applied philosophers." Conversely, new avenues emerge for finally solving recalcitrant philosophical problems of induction, explanation, and ong>theong>ory testing.
