| Abstract: | The last decades have been characterised by fundamental changes - a paradigm shift - in organization theory, management theory and the intellectual constructions through which organizations, managing and individuals working in organizations are understood. As early as the 1960s and 1970s, a number of authors had suggested that a change in the conventional organizational wisdom was in progress. Analyzing this paradigm shift, the authors will broadly and partly make use of Weaver's terminology to describe these changes as a move from perspectives stressing simplicity, order, determinism and linearity towards approaches in which complexity, disorder, non-determinism and non-linearity are acknowledged. |
