Abstract:
Building on the observation that competitive dynamics and market evolution are inextricably linked and underresearched, we propose a road map to guide and stimulate future research in the area. A number of rationales have been proposed to explain why there is relatively little research directed toward understanding the links between competitive dynamics and market evolution; these include the predominance of different research paradigms in each area, a lack of data appropriate for analyzing the two areas together, and the difficulty of obtaining robust and significant results with analysis that is by definition complex (it must consider factors and outcomes both across firms and over time). Using this last rationale as a starting point, we develop a series of research propositions related to key relationships where (a) insignificant or contradictory results have been obtained (in extant research) or (b) researchers have yet to delve. The propositions are designed to deepen our understanding of the relationship between the areas. Throughout the analysis, the key to developing the propositions is to recognize the importance of moderating factors, mediating factors, and covariates. In addition, where the approach to empirically test a proposition is new, we propose categories, measures, and comparisons that can be used.Keywords:

In the cause of conclusion of proposition logic,it's the first step and important to symbolize proposition accurately and correctly.If symbolic notation is error,it will cause mistake of result of conclusion.But it is seldom to explain and introduce in most teaching material and reference book of the logic of proposition,so it will be explored in this paper.

Abstract The paper explores the use of statistical data and statistical assumptions as evidence in criminal trials. It is suggested that a finding of guilt includes not only its main factual proposition but also additional propositions that support and affirm it. Specifically, it includes not only the proposition that the defendant committed the offence but also the additional affirming proposition that it is this defendant rather than any other potential defendant who committed the offence (the ‘D rather than A’ proposition). Some statistical generalisations provide reasons in defence of the main proposition but not in defence of the affirming proposition, which then remains random or arbitrary. Yet since criminal convictions include a moral judgement, they cannot be justified where some of their propositions are arbitrary. Accordingly, such statistical generalisations cannot justify a criminal conviction.

A common objection to Russell's theory of descriptions concerns incomplete definite descriptions: uses of (for example) ‘the book is overdue’ in contexts where there is clearly more than one book. Many contemporary Russellians hold that such utterances will invariably convey a contextually determined complete proposition, for example, that the book in your briefcase is overdue. But according to the objection this gets things wrong: typically, when a speaker utters such a sentence, no facts about the context or the speaker's communicative intentions single out a particular description-theoretic proposition as the proposition expressed. However, this is an objection only if it is assumed that successful linguistic communication requires the hearer to identify a proposition uniquely intended by the speaker. We argue that this assumption is mistaken. On our view, no proposition, descriptive or referential, is uniquely intended in such a context; thus, no proposition can nor need be identified as the proposition expressed. One significant upshot is that, once the aforementioned assumption is rejected, incompleteness no longer poses a threat to Russell's theory of descriptions.

We have received an e-mail from Bryan Gillespie pointing out that a proposition, that is Proposition 8.5, of our book, [1] is incorrect as stated. The given formula (8.5) is valid only in the generic case that is assuming that for any point of the arrangement $p, X_p$ is formed by a basis. The correct proposition is slightly weaker, in general one must replace Formula 8.5 of the book with the next Formula (3). Accordingly one has to change Proposition 9.2 in the obvious way. The remaining parts of the book are not affected but one should remove the first line of 11.3.3 which quotes the incorrect formula. Here we discuss the correct proposition, replacing Proposition 8.5.

Abstract Both interjections and repetitions accept the proposition entirely. Sometimes, though, question recipients put forward a different proposition than the one in the question and do so as their answer. This chapter explores two main types of transformations—those that modify the terms of the question’s proposition, and those that modify the agenda of the proposition. The chapter argues that with transformations, speakers can answer questions that they otherwise would have to offer non-answer responses to; and they can confirm questions that they might otherwise have to give disconfirmations to. In this way, question recipients can rely on transformations to be more affiliative than they might be able to be if they relied only on the other alternatives in the response possibility space. However, the chapter also shows that when speakers could have provided a more direct repetition or interjection, the answer can be disaffiliative.

Selective determi nation proposition coordinates with coordinate determination proposition and con ditional determination proposition in one hierarchy.It can be divided into compa tible proposition and incompatible proposition.The three propositions of selecti ve determination,compatible determination and incompatible determination are dis tributed in two different hierarchies.They should have been defined accurately.H owever,in reality,their definitions are not so satisfactory.Some definitions are even wrong.This paper aims to analyze the mistakes and attempts to give new def initions.

The proposition for the thought of minben in Mencius could be divided into five categories: the purposive proposition,institutional proposition,normative proposition,operational proposition and critical proposition,which were interrelated,mutually complementary,of different function and same orientation.The question forwarding,interpreting mode,proposition combination,theoretical structure and political inclination in Mencius had a general meaning.From the perspective of proposition combination,the Fundamentalist Confucianism(yuan dian ru xue) and the Autocratic Confucianism(zhuan zhi ru xue) have no intrinsic difference.Therefore,Fundamentalist Confucianism was a spiritual phenomenon that was matched to monarchy.This was the fundamental reason why the doctrine of Confucius and Mencius had become the ruling thoughts of autocratic monarchy in Imperial China.

The theory of proposition is the important content of logic.Both Mohist School and Aristotle discuss the basic problems of proposition which are the nature of proposition,the types and relations of proposition,model propositions etc.This forms their abundant theories of proposition.There are many differences between their theories of proposition.Comparing between their identities and differences,which is further advantageous to understand the identical nature and different characteristics of ancient logic in China and the West.

The mainstream approaches to the Synoptic Problem all agree: there are no extant instances of Q. The shape of ‘Q’ changes, however, if, as proposed in the companion article, ‘Streeter's “Other” Synoptic Solution: The Matthew Conflator Hypothesis’, Matthew sometimes conflates Luke with Luke's own source. Where this happens Luke's source qualifies as an instance of ‘Q’ – inasmuch as it preserves sayings of Jesus used, ultimately, by both Luke and Matthew. This fresh conception of ‘Q’ opens up the possibility that examples of ‘Q’ are, after all, available. An extant text meeting this description is Didache 1.2–5a.
