This book seems to be a classic in business studies at doctoral level because it describes the theory foundation of organizational studies. However, this book is mainly built on the critical writings of Marx and Weber. It totally ignores for example Ludwig von Mises, which is unbelievable! I personally prefer Mises' The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science compared to this one.

A decent book for starting a PhD. Burrell and Morgan giev bring you an overview of paradigma in Social Sciences, even from philosofical viewpoint.

Pertama membaca buku ini memang membuka banyak wawasan tentang apa yang dimaksud dengan asumsi paradigmatik. Asumsi menentukan bagaimana kita membangun ilmu pengetahuan. Epat paradigma (fungsionalis, interpretif, radikal humanis, radikal strukturalis) dijelaskan berdasarkan asumsi atas ilmu dan asumsi atas masyarakat.

Namun harus hati-hati benar supaya tidak terpenjara ya... Perlu diingat bahwa tidak ada asumsi tentang Tuhan. Bottom linenya: semua paradigma yang dijelaskan memang sekuler.
