INDIVIDUAL PAPER 1: Applying the Machine Metaphor Metaphors are often used in order to analyse organisations and theories of management by helping us to see and understand in a distinctive yet partial way (Morgan‚ 2006). The use of metaphors allows us to understand something by comparing it to an experience to which we are familiar. Akin & Palmer (2000 p 69) further explain the effectiveness of metaphors saying they “are integral to our language. It is through metaphors that we communicate.”

“Can machines think?”- A question heavily debated dating back to the days of Descartes. This idea has been explored and analyzed by scholars in many diverse fields of study for many‚ many years. Mathematician Alan Turing was a pioneer in unraveling this question. His philosophies found in his published paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” changed the ways in which we perceive and comprehend artificial intelligence. Turing’s most famous advance on the age-old question was the self-titled Turing

dealing with computations which involved "effective" or "mechanical" methods for finding results (which could also be expressed as solutions (values) to formulae). These methods were so called because they could‚ in principle‚ be performed by simple machines (or human-computers or human-calculators‚ to use Turing’s unfortunate phrases). The emphasis was on finiteness : a finite number of instructions‚ a finite number of symbols in each instruction‚ a finite number of steps to the result. This is why
