Interrelations Among Science, Politics, Aesthetics, Business Management, and Economics

  • Chapter

Abstract

Today’s complex problems in international economics, business, urban planning, and many other fields require contextual understanding and action. The purpose of this chapter is to illustrate the interrelations among seemingly separate aspects of our life such as science, politics, aesthetics, business management, and economics with concrete and complex examples including multicultural management frictions in international business, governmental projects, and nongovernmental programs; political and economic restructuring currently taking place in East European countries; international debt repayment default problems in Latin America; and, more important, the problems in our own intellectual reorientation and reorganization in coping with them. These problems are ultimately epistemological rather than material and quantitative.
