Where Constructionism and Critical Realism Converge: Interrogating the Domain of Epistemological Relativism
探讨了认识论相对主义在建构主义和批判实在论中的地位，发现其在管理组织研究中被边缘化，导致分析虽基于经验但缺乏彻底批判性，并反思如何将其重新置于核心。
The paper interrogates the status, nature and significance of epistemological relativism as a key element of constructionism and critical realism. It finds that epistemological relativism is espoused by authorities in critical realism and marginalized or displaced in the field of management and organization studies, resulting in forms of analysis that are empirically, but not fully critically, realist. This evaluation prompts reflection on the question of whether, how and with what implications epistemological relativism might be recast at the heart of critical realist studies of management and organization.
