An Overview: The Theory of the Organization and the New Paradigms

This paper proposes to tackle a subject that many authors have warned should not be taken lightly:
“the new paradigms of Science” and the theory of management. The paper begins with a brief
explanation about the changing environment which began during the 1970s. This section contains
background and relevant criticism made by several authors, and sets out the argument for the need to
change to a new paradigm. This is followed by an exploration of new concepts and ideas that have
emerged in New Science that have direct relevance to developing new organizational models. Finally,
a way to envision and conceptualize the organization as a living entity and to undertake the
construction of a new paradigm is suggested.
