Los problemas del pensamiento gerencial en las sociedades post-modernas

Abstract

Postmodernity refers to new ways of conceiving the world, as subjective, intangible constructions, which are expressed through a symbolic language, of meanings, making proud of the need to move towards the search for an epistemological approach that sustains the emergence of interpretative constructions on the managerial phenomenon. In this sense, theory is carried out to reflect on the adoption of epistemology in the construction of managerial thinking, in response to the challenges presented by the postmodern era, considering the dimensions through which this thinking manifests itself: epistemological, axiological, strategic and technological; emphasizing transformative epistemology as the most suitable means to generate managerial knowledge with an impact on organizational designs and redesigns. It is concluded that the knowledge of management sciences is influenced by the prevailing conditions in postmodernity, assuming itself as a process of permanent construction, which produces the emergence of a new managerial thought. It assesses the need to rethink management, to generate concrete actions that impact the organization, for which critical epistemology is suggested, tending to achieve the transformation of traditional schemes of management.
