| Abstract: | In the field of organizational studies, few texts are as foundational as March and Simon's (1958) contribution titled 'Organizations'. Far from being a piece of outmoded science, this book continues to be frequently cited. This article deconstructs the positivist agenda formulated in 'Organizations' to show that the text replicates the moves of predecessors it condemns, and asserts an ideology of programming that justifies the inevitability of fractionated work. Deconstruction is used not to prevent science, but to open debate to complexities and issues that have been ignored or suppressed. |
