The increasing interest in how some businesses in an industry perform better than others led to the emergence of the ‘ resource based view ’ ( RBV ) of strategy ( Wernerfelt, 1984 ; Barney, 1991 ; Grant, 1991 ), which seeks to discover the firm-specific sources of superior performance – an interest that has increasingly come to dominate research.

It is thus argued that this theory be coupled with the Resource-Based View ( RBV ) in order for the firm to develop a much more sound strategy.

The Belgic Confession, used in Reformed churches, devotes a section ( Article 6 ) to " The difference between the canonical and apocryphal books " and asserts that " All which the Church may read and take instruction from, so far as they agree with the canonical books ; but they are far from having such power and efficacy as that we may from their testimony confirm any point of faith or of the Christian religion ; much less to detract from the authority of the other sacred books.

Taken as a physical description of space, postulate 2 ( extending a line ) asserts that space does not have holes or boundaries ( in other words, space is homogeneous and unbounded ); postulate 4 ( equality of right angles ) says that space is isotropic and figures may be moved to any location while maintaining congruence ; and postulate 5 ( the parallel postulate ) that space is flat ( has no intrinsic curvature ).

Behe asserts that the absence of any one of these proteins causes the flagella to fail to function, and that the flagellum " engine " is irreducibly complex as if we try to reduce its complexity by positing an earlier and simpler stage of its evolutionary development, we get an organism which functions improperly.

So any doctrine, such as materialism, that asserts that finite qualities or natural objects are fully real is mistaken.

The multi-sentence version of the liar paradox generalizes to any circular sequence of such statements ( wherein the last statement asserts the truth / falsity of the first statement ), provided there are an odd number of statements asserting the falsity of their successor ; the following is a three-sentence version, with each statement asserting the falsity of its successor:

Chief among these is that since dialetheism recognizes the liar paradox, an intrinsic contradiction, as being true, it must discard the long-recognized principle of ex falso quodlibet, which asserts that any proposition can be deduced from a contradiction, unless the dialetheist is willing to accept trivialism-the view that all propositions are true.

Contrasting with this point of view is dualism which asserts that there are two ultimately irreconcilable substances or realities ( with consciousness and / or mind on the one hand and matter on the other ) or pluralism which asserts any number of fundamental substances or realities more than two.

The Banach-Mazur theorem asserts that any separable Banach space is isometrically isomorphic to a closed linear subspace of C ().

Gödel's theorem, informally stated, asserts that any formal theory expressive enough for elementary arithmetical facts to be expressed and strong enough for them to be proved is either inconsistent ( both a statement and its denial can be derived from its axioms ) or incomplete, in the sense that there is a true statement about natural numbers that can't be derived in the formal theory.

Stated simply, the Novikov consistency principle asserts that if an event exists that would give rise to a paradox, or to any " change " to the past whatsoever, then the probability of that event is zero.

According to McGuckin, several mid-twentieth century accounts have tended to " romanticise " Nestorius ; in opposition to this view, he asserts that Nestorius was no less dogmatic, uncompromising than Cyril and that he was fully just as prepared to use his political and canonical powers as Cyril or any of the other hierarchs of the period.

The argument asserts that an omnibenevolent God provides the basis for attributing right and wrong to any thought or action.

This view is commonly contrasted with rationalism, which asserts that knowledge may be derived from reason independently of the senses.

This has led a number of environmentalists to support the use of the precautionary principle in policy making, which ultimately asserts that we don ’ t know how certain actions may affect the environment, and because there is reason to believe they may cause more harm than good we should refrain from such actions.
