The Organic Systems Framework: A New Paradigm for Understanding and Intervening in Organizational Life Paperback - 2019

by Barry Oshry

In this persuasively argued booklet, Oshry establishes that, despite frequent references to paradigms in management and organization literature, there are no scientific paradigms in this field (as defined by Thomas Kuhn in his landmark essay on the subject "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions"). He goes on to make the case for the Organic System Framework (OSF) being a legitimate candidate for paradigm status.
