Theory X and Theory Y also have implications in military command and control (C2). Older, strictly hierarchical conceptions of C2, with narrow centralization of decision rights, highly constrained patterns of interaction, and limited information distribution tend to arise from cultural and organizational assumptions compatible with Theory X.

In social choice theory, independence of irrelevant alternatives is often stated as "if one candidate (X) would win an election without a new candidate (Y), and Y is added to the ballot, then either X or Y should win the election." Situations where Y affects the outcome are called spoiler effects.

Theories X, Y and various versions of Z have been used in human resource management, organizational behavior, organizational communication and organizational development. McGregor's Theory X states that workers inherently dislike and ...
Arrow's original statement of the theorem included the assumption of nonperversity, i.e. increasing the rank of an outcome should not make them lose. [31] However, this assumption is not needed or used in his proof, except to derive the weaker Pareto efficiency axiom, and as a result is not related to the paradox. [28]
Each line shows one of the three possible genotypes. In population genetics, the Hardy–Weinberg principle, also known as the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, model, theorem, or law, states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences.
Postulates of special relativity. 1. First postulate ( principle of relativity ) The laws of physics take the same form in all inertial frames of reference. 2. Second postulate (invariance of c ) As measured in any inertial frame of reference, light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c that is independent of the state ...
