The paradox of inquiry refers to an argument that arises in Plato’s Meno and is called Meno’s paradox. Meno asks Socrates if inquiry is possible. On one hand‚ if an individual already knows what he or she is looking for‚ then there is no need for inquiry. However‚ if an individual does not know what he or she is looking for‚ then inquiry cannot begin. Therefore‚ this paradox seems to show that inquiry is either impossible or unnecessary. To answer this problem‚ Socrates introduces his Theory of Recollection

Is Marketing Management an artistic exercise or a scientific exercise? The marketing concept focuses on customer analysis‚ competitor analysis‚ and integration of the organisation’s resources to provide customer value and satisfaction‚ as well as long-term profits (Pride et al. 2007‚ p. 13).

This test of novel problem solving is a measure of fluid intelligence (Doubleday‚ King‚ & Papageorgiou‚ 2002). People’s ability to solve novel problems is a stable characteristic‚ as it is largely genetically determined (Nairne‚ 2009). Test-retest is typically appropriate for measures with stable attributes‚ but this test’s novel nature makes it an inappropriate technique in regard to reliability. In effect‚ its novelty diminishes after the initial testing‚ producing difficulties due to practice
