Dear All,
I have created a mind map of a literature review on How Ontology, Epistemology And Axiology Relate To Develop New Knowledge Through Research Methodology And Research Design.
I want critical comments on my thoughts.
The outline of the finding is as follows and you can follow the above link for a more clear image.
Thank you
Please refer following links of ideas and make critics;
· I found that any research needs to add new knowledge
· That knowledge is resulted from answering a question/s or/and finding a solution/s
· Each problem or solution has its ontology, epistemology, and axiology
· The ontology, epistemology and axiology collectively form a research philosophy while those influence developing research questions or hypotheses or a mix of both regarding the problem or solution.
· As the research philosophy and questions/hypothesis origin from the same sources to both should be conceptually related to each other.
· Then research design is formulated to answer those research questions or hypotheses or a mix of both
· same time the research methodology is underpinning the particular research’s ontology, epistemology, axiology and philosophy continues
· Then research design and research methodology both make the selection of approach in theory development. As well, research design and research methodology make and formulate the rest of the steps in the research.
· After that, the steps are clear. However, the selections of methodological choices, strategies, data collection techniques and analysis techniques are interrelated decisions.
· Finally, all these activities resulted in new knowledge

The Third World academic dependency means the dependency of ideas, technologies, theories and concepts, media of ideas, aid and investment in education to Europeans and Americans.
Relevant answer
Answer
In most developing countries academy productivity at almost every field of knowledge derives from public institutions, so the profile of such element is dependent of national or regional policies. 'Third wolrd' nations suffer from academy / research programs that frequently lack of idoneity, global-orientation and long-term scope. In order to overcome barriers for academy expansion a new order of policy-makers interested in elevating academic / research profile of a given country have to develop long-term planning emphasizing local priorities and global trends,

Marginal revolution is understood to have occurred in 1870’s. However, Blaug (2001) shows that Germany and France were ahead of UK in topics and tools like subjective value theory and demand and supply diagram. J.R. Hicks claimed that the most important characteristic of the marginal revolution was the shift from plutology (economics of production) to catallactics (economics of exchange). The image and meaning of the so-called marginal revolution must be drastically changed. What is your opinion? What does it mean for the present-day economics?

Dear Yoshinori,
Thanks for your kind words. I perfectly agree with you that Say never fully understood Ricardo and was perhaps even intent on not understanding him or rather misunderstanding him. I attach a paper Christian Gehrke and I published in 2001 on Say and Ricardo on value and distribution.
That utility matters in order for goods to have value was not disputed by Smith or Ricardo, but neither of them was a utilitarian. They also did not object to the view that demand and supply matter in determining market prices, but they disputed that they play a role in determining natural or normal prices. Supply in this context was taken to be a given actual offer and not a supply function. Similarly, demand was used in an everyday language and not in the sense of a definite quantitative relationship between the amount demanded and the price of a commodity. Representatives of the German use value school, who invented the concept marginal utility, did not see their ideas in conflict with Adam Smith's theory, but rather as adding some flesh to it. (See my piece on the German and Austrian schools.)
John Stuart Mill interestingly stated that due to Ricardo's achievement the theory of value was complete. However, when dealing with the problem of joint production he abandoned this view and claimed that demand plays an important role. Alas, in discussing the case of two products being produced by means of a single process (e.g. wool and mutton) he assumed that there is only one process available and the system of equations is thus short of one equation to determine all unknowns. Had he allowed for two (or several) methods of production he would have had to develop a more sophisticated argument. (I published a paper on "Early Classical and Marginalist Economists on Joint Production"  in 1986 in Metroeconomica.)
Ricardo was not well received in Germany, which was under the spell of old cameralist traditions and later of Say. People abhorred abstract reasoning and understandably had difficulties to come to grips with it. But there were notable exceptions to the rule. These included Hermann and von Thünen in the first half of the 19th century and then towards its end von Bortkiewicz, to name but a few.
Best,
Heinz
