=__Positivistic Model #1__= When pondering organizations that may fit into a positivistic scheme, I can't help but think of the U.S. military branches. Each organization has a common theme and goal, and has, with growth, emerged into a tightly-run outfit that depends on a linear hierarchy of sub- and super- ordination. []

=__Positivistic Model #2__= Manufacturing offers another example of positivism, in both the physical cause-and-effect process of creating the product, as well as the positivist thinking that forms the business organization. Manufacturers must make decisions based on need, growth, development and sustainability. Progress must be monitored and analyzed continuously, as changes will need to be made as the environment (market, competition, etc) dictates.

=**__Positivistic Model #3__**= The Criminal Justice System displays heavy foundation in positivistic theory: [] [] ====**"The positive school consists of the following: study first the natural origin of crime and then its social and legal consequences in order to provide, by social and legal means, the various remedies which will have the greatest effect on the various causes that produce it.** ==== ====**This is our assumption, the innovation we have made, not so much in our particular conclusions as in our research method."** ** //Enrico Ferri// (Student of Cesare Lombroso, founder of the Positivist School of Criminology)   **====

=__Positivistic Model #4__= General Electric is a company who, through research and data, has continued to adapt to a changing society. GE continues to endure through its positivistic approach to evolving and sustainability.
