    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; libido; psychic energy; motivation; mind body relation; consciousness; psychosomatics; darwinism; death drive; Psychology; Psykologi; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis purports to prove the logical necessity of the psychic energy concept discarded by modern psychoanalysis by linking the "evolutionistic argument" against epiphenomenalism to Brillouin´s negentropy principle.

  7. 5. On business relationships as Darwinian systems : an exploration into how Darwinian systems thinking can supportbusiness relationship research

    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Business Studies; Företagsekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : The demarcation between different traditions in contemporary research on business relationships reflects theoretical and methodological difficulties in the conceptualization of the nature of business relationships and how such relationships evolve. To tackle these problems, this thesis explores the fruitfulness of regarding business relationships as Darwinian systems, which accentuates kinship between Darwinism and systems thinking, and elaborates a treatment of business relationship transmutation as an iterative dynamic process that does not take the existence of business relationships – or the sequence of developmental stages – for granted.
