    Can training influence metaphorical thinking, creativity and level of dogmatism?

    How did the similarity of another idea affect your ability to apply it to your challenge?

    Is economic behavior a special kind of human activity or is it only one of its aspects?

    Is there evidence of an ability to perform the promised service properly the first time?

    What is occurring, what is happening, what pain are you or your customers experiencing?
