... So-called frequentist probability is sometimes confused with stable propensities of chance setups (e.g., Peirce, 1923/2010; Popper, 1959/2002) but usually means hypothetical longrunning frequencies (e.g., Ellis, 1842, 1854; Neyman, 1937; Venn, 1866/2006; von Mises, 1957; see Maher, 2010). Alternatively, " Bayesian " probability can be a degree of rational knowledge or inductive, logical, or evidential support for a proposition or state of affairs (e.g., Bayes, 1763; Carnap, 1950; Jaynes, 2003; Jeffreys, 1939/1998; Keynes, 1921/2008; Laplace, 1774/1986; Shannon, 1948), or it can be a degree of belief in a proposition or state of affairs (e.g., De Finetti, 1931/1989; Jeffrey, 2004; Ramsey, 1926/1990; Savage, 1954; see Galavotti, 2011). We are interested in how the ontologies and epistemologies of each can affect the way management researchers conceptualize organizations and their members, as well as intervene in existing organizational practices and enact different organizational realities (e.g., Hacking, 1983; Latour, 2004; Law, 2004; Shapin & Schaffer, 1985). ...
