| Tiivistelmä: | The authors argue from a different set of assumptions than those of Pfeffer. In their view, knowledge is socially constructed, and thus, scholars are unable to make unambiguous claims on some absolute truth. Given this assumption, the enforced consensus and dominant paradigm called for by Pfeffer would lead to a stagnation in knowledge evolution. The authors argue that the concept of consensus and its role in the evolution of knowledge has been overstated. A high degree of consensus, however achieved, would suggest that the evolution of knowledge has been slowed, not facilitated. |
