Eight Propositions Towards New Possibilities of Studying Organizing and Organizations
Journal Title: BAR: Brazilian Administration Review - Year 2011, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss the subordination of administrative theories based on market relations, which leads us to a single model of organization, namely the enterprise. This is a theoretical essay which presents eight proposals in order to contribute to management education and research that can promote knowledge building and encourage the acknowledgement of other ways of organizing, while also respecting the historical creation of different contexts. We seek to systematize the criticism from important authors of the social sciences in Brazil, to help create other options for theorizing in management studies.
