Omschrijving
Barry Oshry shows that, despite many references to paradigms in the literature, there are no scientific paradigms (as defined by Thomas Kuhn) in management/organization theory and development. He then makes the case for the Organic System Framework as a legitimate candidate for paradigm status - from which further research naturally follows.
