From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Symbolic Convergence Theory is a communication theory with a universal scope. It is more similar to the Darwinian theory of evolution than to a hypothetico-deductive theory of physics and chemistry,[1] because it does not rely on quantitative measurements nor on mathematical theories for specific application. [2]

SCT can be applied to such varying subjects as corporate strategy planning [3]
