Shifting paradigms for sustainable development: implications for management theory and research
Article Abstract:
Modern management theory is constricted by a fractured epistemology, which separates humanity from nature and truth from morality. Reintegration is necessary if organizational science is to support ecologically and socially sustainable development. This article posits requisites of such development and rejects the paradigms of conventional technocentrism and antithetical ecocentrism on grounds of incongruence. A more fruitful integrative paradigm of "sustaincentrism" is then articulated, and implications for organizational science are generated as if sustainability, extended community, and our Academy mattered.
