Moral complexity in organizations

Business ethics is applied ethics, says Velasquez (1992, p. 2). The application of ethics to organizational contexts can take two forms, which are both ‘practical’, but in different ways. The first type of application aims at analysing specific ethical problem types in organizations, in order to provide normative clarification and guidance. Examples of this are advertizing ethics, the ethics of...

Chaos/Complexity Theory and Education

Sciences exist to demonstrate the fundamental order underlying nature. Chaos/complexity theory is a novel and amazing field of scientific inquiry. Notions of our everyday experiences are somehow in connection to the laws of nature through chaos/complexity theory’s concerns with the relationships between simplicity and complexity, between orderliness and randomness (Retrieved from http://www.inc...

QSAT (QBF) INSTANCE: Boolean expression φ in CNF with variables x1, . . . , xn. QUESTION: Is there a truth value for the variable x1 such that for both truth values of x2 there is a truth value for x3 and so on up to xn, such that φ is satisfied by the overall truth assignment? Notation An instance of QSAT is written as ∃x1∀x2∃x3 · · ·Qxnφ, where Q is ∀ if n is even and ∃ if n is odd. Theorem Q...
