Abstract: Abstract Research should choose philosophy of science as an orientation framework for building and testing models and insights (Kornmeier 2007; Chmielewicz 1994). This chapter will illustrate which view is taken in this research study. First, the choice of the epistemological concept will be presented. The theoretical concepts of Logical Empiricism (c.f. e.g., Schlick 1918) versus Critical Rationalism (Popper 2005; 1959) and Radical Constructivism (Glasersfeld 1997; 1987) versus Naïve and Scientific Realism (c.f. e.g., Hartmann 1966), as well as Pattern Predictions (Hayek 2007; 1964) will be briefly portrayed and the choice of approaches for this study will be selected. Then, the applied paradigm will be presented, after portraying the paradigms Radical Humanist, Radical Structuralist, Interpretive and Functionalist (Burrell & Morgan 1979). Finally the unit of analysis focused in this study will be illustrated.
