An Extensional Modified Realizability Topos
In this thesis, we construct and investigate a topos for Kreisel’s modified realizability. The topos, like Kreisel’s modified realizability, is characterized by the axiom of choice in all finite types and the principle of independence of premise.

Data‐Driven Procurement for Managing Crises: Lessons From a European Automotive Manufacturer
ABSTRACT Global crises and persistent uncertainty have exposed the vulnerability of supply chains. Procurement departments, traditionally focused on cost optimization, are increasingly required to act as strategic orchestrators of supply chains. This paper examines a data‐driven transformation within a European automotive procurement department ...

Abstract We examine how the two dimensions of VC managers' personal reputation, that is, ‘being known’ and ‘being known for quality’, jointly influence the formation of initial syndication ties. We propose that VC managers follow a two‐stage cognitive process. In the first stage, the ‘being known for quality’ dimension – a reflection of their abilities‐

Is the Gene‐ie Out of the Bottle? The Problems and Perils of Genetics Research in Management
Abstract In recent years, the field of management research has witnessed the emergence of a stream of research that seeks to identify the genetic determinants of managerial, entrepreneurial, and organizational behaviour. We challenge the reductionist epistemology underpinning this genetic perspective in management research and highlight the inherently ...

Contingent capital: A tale of two valuations
Abstract This study investigates the valuation gap between buyers and sellers of insurers' contingent capital, driven by asymmetric exposures to tax benefits, capital injections, and bankruptcy costs. We develop a novel Twin‐Tree Model with Jumps (TTMJ) that models the insurer's asset value dynamics by incorporating catastrophe risk, insolvency risk ...

Developing theories of types and computability via realizability
We investigate the development of theories of types and computability via realizability. In the first part of the thesis, we suggest a general notion of realizability, based on weakly closed partial cartesian categories, which generalizes the usual ...

Nature's Complexity Alive: Farewell to Several Unificatory Cosmological Arguments for Monism
ABSTRACT Throughout history, numerous thinkers have claimed that monism—in the form of priority monism, existence monism, monotheistic monism, or versions that posit an extra‐cosmic ultimate being—theoretically surpasses pluralism, above all by positing a unified universe.

Bounded Modified Realizability
We define a notion of realizability, based on a new assignment of formulas, which does not care for precise witnesses of existential statements, but only for bounds for them. The novel form of realizability supports a very general form of the FAN theorem,

Life, but Not as We Know It: Why Fine‐Tuning Arguments Fail
ABSTRACT Definitions of “life” and theories of life are systematically neglected in arguments for and from fine‐tuning. Despite claims to be neutral about the definition of “life,” fine‐tuning arguments generally presuppose that life requires a form of structural complexity only afforded by physicochemical complexity of the sort with which we are ...
