Every science is important, but some are essential. Scientific fields are classified and arranged hierarchically—at the base are the sciences that describe our civilization and the world around us. They are the foundational theories upon which we build the models we use in practice. Theory and practice cannot exist without each other. The former makes assumptions that we experiment with solving real-life problems. Ultimately, the feedback we receive helps us correct the initial assumptions. We start from the foundation I mentioned and then move to more practical layers of knowledge - management, infrastructure, and business. And finally, we have current trends. As we approach the periphery, i.e., the current trend signal-to-noise ratio drastically dissipates. The following metaphor is appropriate: if all knowledge is a tree, theoretical sciences are the tree’s trunk, and the practical fields of knowledge are its branches. Finally, the leaves remain, which change yearly - the current trends. #Knowlegde #Investing #Science

“What is time then? If nobody asks me, I know; but if I were desirous to explain it to one that should ask me, plainly I do not know.” ― St. Augustine ⏲ ⏳ ⌛ 🔄 ⏰ ⏱ ⌚ If you feel the same but want to embrace #time and #temporalities in your research -> check out our comprehensive #review #article (with Blagoy Blagoev, Tor Hernes and Majken Schultz) published in the Journal of Management which aims to shed some light on this fundamental issue. 🎉 It has been downloaded 12k times (published online just 10 months ago) 🔓 It is open access 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eqhsKWRR In this paper, we discuss different approaches to study time and temporalities which are based on very different assumptions rooted in #economics, #psychology, #sociology, #philosophy Abstract: "Time is gaining recognition as an important research perspective, yet the assumptions, concepts, and boundaries of this perspective vary greatly across different fields. This diversity suggests that time offers both significant depth and relevance as a lens for research. However, the diversity of approaches also harbors ambiguity and a lack of coherence, hindering scholars’ ability to integrate insights and harness the full potential of time as a research lens. To address this issue, we review the diverse time-based assumptions, domains, and concepts in extant research. Our review reveals three dominant manifestations of the temporal lens: time as resource, time as structure, and time as process. We analyze and synthesize insights of the three lenses to offer an integrative framework to support future research. The framework informs and reveals opportunities for time-based research by foregrounding connections and contrasts among the lenses. Building on this framework, we discuss two principal pathways for future research: connecting the three lenses through the study of tensions at their interfaces, and enhancing the three lenses through the study of more complex conceptions of time." #time #temporality #PhD #managementresearch #organizationstudies

SCIENCE DOES NOT SEEK TRUTH NOR REALITY Reality is not experimental and it does not belong to the realm of experience: so it is not within the domain of science, for science to determine what it is. Even science itself is committed to establishment of facts through rigorous experimention, and not to prove truth nor reality. It is philosophy that is dedicated to the pursuit of truth and reality, through critical thoughtfulness of Reminiscencingly-transcendented conception, consummation of thoughtfulness and finality of understandability.

MOMENTUM RESEARCH In 2018, Keith Markman and I attempted to analytically conceptualize the experience of momentum as a psychosocial and cognitive process. It begins with the occurrence of a successful event, leads to the emergence of the recognition of an impetus, and evolves into the appearance of imagined futures (i.e., anticipation). It then triggers a series of psychological, physiological (i.e., the actual experience of momentum), and behavioral responses (i.e., reflecting subsequent success). More recently, seppo iso-ahola has introduced an insightful complementary perspective by highlighting the role of skill as a key predictor of successive achievements within the momentum sequence (skill -> momentum -> performance). I highly recommend his paper that clarifies several concepts (e.g., skill, ability, performance) and provides a theory of the skill-performance relationship. https://lnkd.in/dTcaxhVT

With a near collapse of Indian cities recently, drawing attention to our new #publication with Peter Ache in 'Planning Theory and Practice', we discuss why spatial-visions need to move away from #consensual and #seductive terminologies such as #worldclass, #global #smart etc. Visioning exercises, a chance to do course correction, lately, have become #stage-managed, #socially-stratified, #expert-driven and more about #consensus-making, plus there is a new crop of individuals called #visionaries. We argue that visioning exercises : - be #institutionalized with the mainstream planning/policy-making hierarchy, rather than a standalone exercise (to be forgotten) - focus on #norm-setting, behavioural change - should normalise #dissent and disagreement - appreciate #ordinary knowledge, and - endorse the #right to vision You can read more here - https://lnkd.in/gRyxjVYw

"Merely pointing to a distant goal of translation is not the same as actively building a conceptual, scientific, and then practical bridge to reach that goal." (1) Researchers focused on invent and discover approaches only are not translating. They are waiting for someone else to do the translating. Very few basic research findings merit translation and even those that do the follow up is often more discovery research. Effective translation addresses a clinical need and is based on an understanding of mechanism. Effective translation is not easy. This is why it is important to not only deliver the outputs of a project. A scientific approach to developing strategy is to define a list of possibilities and then analyse them to answer the question: What would have to be true about the world for the possibility to be supported? (2). So, the question becomes: What would have to be true for the outputs of our project to be implemented in clinical practice? Your #strategy is then doing something that exponentially increases the contribution of your project's outputs towards achieving your answer to the question above. #MedicalResearch #TranslationalGap #Leadership Phillip Monk Timothy Radstake MD, PhD.

The Scientific Method Unlocked! As scientists, we are driven by curiosity and a relentless pursuit of knowledge. Central to our endeavors is the Scientific Method, a tried-and-true framework guiding our quest for understanding. Let's dive into its essence: Ask a Question: Every scientific exploration begins with a question a spark that ignites our curiosity and sets us on a path of inquiry. Research: Armed with the question, we delve into existing knowledge, seeking insights from past studies, literature, and data to inform our understanding. Hypothesis: With a foundation laid by research, we formulate a hypothesis a testable explanation for the phenomenon under scrutiny. Test: Rigorous experimentation is the heart of the Scientific Method. We design experiments to challenge our hypothesis, meticulously controlling variables to uncover truths. Analyze: Data in hand, we employ statistical tools and analytical techniques to distill meaning, identifying patterns and trends that shed light on our inquiry. TRUE! or FALSE!: The moment of revelation arrives. Our findings either confirm or refute our hypothesis, leading us closer to the ultimate truth. Report: Transparent communication is paramount. We disseminate our findings through scholarly publications, conferences, and discussions, contributing to the collective knowledge of humanity. The Scientific Method isn't just a sequence of steps; it's a mindset a commitment to rigorous inquiry, skepticism, and intellectual honesty. Let's continue embracing its power as we navigate the frontiers of science and unlock the mysteries of the universe. #Science #ScientificMethod #Curiosity #Research #Experimentation #Knowledge #Inquiry #Truth #Discovery #ParulUniversity #SCOPEparuluniversity #SCOPE #SCOPEparul #parulSCOPE #paruluniversitySCOPE

this is a very useful report for anyone interested in evaluation. do have a look!
Thrilled that UK Research and Innovation has published Frontier Economics work examining approaches to #evaluation of Research and Innovation programmes. With my talented colleagues Priyanka Roychoudhury and Carlos Javier López Tris, we reviewed 30 studies to explore the state of the art in R&I evaluation and how #counterfactuals can be established to understand policy impact. While a lot of the approaches taken are increasingly familiar - in particular the use of matching methods and difference-in-differences - we also identified the emerging use of some more novel approaches that could be particularly useful for R&I. In particular, we spotlight Qualitative Comparative Analysis (and its 'fuzzy' variety), Machine Learning, and Synthetic Controls as particularly interesting options. Huge thanks to the UKRI team for their support, review and feedback. Find out more on Frontier's website at https://lnkd.in/egQcCeFv where you can also access the full report.
