Depending on the business sector, the implementation of new processes and systems as well as their continuous improvement can be easy to very complex and of course very costly. Responding to those challenges, there are several methodologies and approaches like Continuous Improvement Process, Lean Management and Kaizen etc. On the other hand, the application of these methodologies to other industries like service and technology companies is not always successful since their conditions and requirements are different than those of manufacturing organizations. Because of these reasons, the management needs to find out （new） ways of working and to implement new solutions in order to master those challenges and problems. This is not always easy and successful. There are different types of solution options that can be applied situational in every organization. Philosophy can help essentially by asking and answering critical questions in order to provide with solution options to reduce the complexity and to increase the speed of processes. There are several proven and new governance concepts, frameworks, and tools which follow their philosophies. This paper demonstrates how those challenges can be responded and managed as well as how a philosophical approach can help primarily to provide with appropriate solutions.展开更多

The critique of a premise, a discourse exercise aimed at the reconstruction of forms, is premised on a position of morphology. It obfuscates the real foundation of philosophy： all authentic philosophy originates from questions, and only the process of critical reflection on questions can provide an authentic context allowing philosophy＇s joumey into the depths. While philosophical discourse systems have always been distinguished by morphological construction, they have nontheless remained attempts at providing philosophical answers to questions posed by practice. Questions, as opposed to morphology, cannot but take precedence and be of a more fundamental nature. The theory of question-oriented reflection, as put forward by the Marxist revolution in philosophy, refers to the basic positions of the ＂theory of practice＂ and the ＂theory of the question.＂ It stongly holds that philosophy in essence is about the logic of questions and answers and its real point is ＂to change the world;＂ sound premises for philosophical forms can be arrived at only through critical rethinking of the philosophy arising from questions and the questions posed by philosophy, and only on such premises can philosophical forms be properly constructed.展开更多

The desire to find a solution to this and other conceptual problems that quantum mechanics confronts has motivated many authors to propose alternative versions to Orthodox Quantum Mechanics. One of them is the Spontaneous Projection Approach, a theory grounded on philosophical realism. It has been introduced in previous papers and, with a few exceptions, it yields experimental predictions coincident with those of Orthodox Quantum Mechanics. One of these exceptions is analyzed in detail. The difference in predictions becomes apparent in a suggested experiment which could put both theories to the test.展开更多
