Abstract

Mathematics is a general and logical capital good for the construction of empirical
science. Pure empirical science (e.g. Theory of the Finn) is a logical but specific capital
good for the construction of applied empirical science. The latter (Corporate Strategy as a
corresponding example) is a dialectical and specific capital good for the improvement of the
art of science. The complementarity among these distinct spheres of knowledge is obvious. It
is however obscured by the economists’ Ricardian Vice. A study of Ansoffs’ work- he is the
chief protagonist of the Theory of Corporate Strategy – is conducted under this perspective.
