Introduction:

Scientists believe that the gymnosperms developed from an extinct phylum whose members reproduced through spores (E. Taylor, T. Taylor, & Krings, 2009). The first true gymnosperms, however, produced seeds instead of spores. As a result, the evolution of the seeds became a fundamental adaptation of the gymnosperms to the dry conditions on land. The second factor that made the group successful on land was the development of pollen grains, which transported and protected the male gametes. Hence, unlike the seedless vascular plants, the gymnosperms became less dependent on the aquatic conditions for the success of fertilization. Instead, they gained the ability to ...

Popper’s View on Science Applied to Management Theory

Introduction

Popper’s view on science disregards the induction, considering that theories must be submitted to experiments before considered scientific, otherwise things, if they cannot be experimented, theories are not scientific, but of other nature, such as metaphysical, and the philosopher aims to differentiate between the empirical science and the metaphysics (Corvi, 2005). This perception contributes to expanding human knowledge, because taking knowledge for granted determines scientific stagnation, while testing proven theories as falsifiable leads to further discovery and learning new theories, generating scientific advancement. Applied to management, Popper’s view ...

Traditional responses of corporate strategy, hierarchical structures and control systems are among the major factors that inhibit the flexibility of a company, its ability to take up new opportunities and thrive in the ever changing external relationships. Mainly, these factors are caused by organizational similarity. Organizations need to be legitimate. Most of their behavioral and structural aspects are targeted towards environmental acceptance rather than internal organization similarity. Hence, most organizations tend to be similar, adopting traditional business practices. The success of companies is mainly determined by their flexibility to changing needs, new opportunities and the ability to create new ...

Abstract

In an ecosystem, the existence of any species of animals or plants solely depends on the capability to adapt to its environment. This is true because, those species which are poorly adapted become extinct. For example, trees that could not adapt to harsh conditions of the desert were eliminated and those species that were well adapted were spared. This is basically what is called natural selection (Jeff et al 9). Similarly, those animal species that could not adapt to any given environmental conditions of an ecosystem were easily eliminated out of existence.
Human being, on the other hand, ...
