| Tiivistelmä: | Why are there conflicting views of the interests which motivate the study of organizations? What are the purposes of studying organizations? The sources of conflicting interpretations are identified. Knowledge is viewed as an instrument or as a discourse, and knowledge is constructed on the basis of trust or suspicion. The interplay of interpretive bases produces competing models of organization studies: Social Innovation, Critique, Language Game of Truth and Hermenuetics. In turn, the four models inspire six debates on the nature of interests which incite the study of organizations: moral/truth; effectiveness/ideology; critique vs dialogue; relevance vs elegance; action or rhetoric; change/meaning. |
