用怀特海的过程哲学批判了经济人假设的个体主义,提出“社群中的人”模型,强调社群由内在关系维系,制度应服务于社群而非相反,对组织研究和商业决策有启示。

Abstract

The philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead differs from most of those that have been influential in the West in its emphasis on process and on internal relations instead of substances and their external relations. For human beings this supports a model of person-in-community instead of the widely influential and highly individualistic and substantialist model of Homo economicus. Communities are societies that are held together by internal relations. The importance of community is widely recognized in organizational studies, but most business decisions are informed chiefly by the substantialist thinking expressed in Homo economicus. To endure and prosper, communities need institutional structures, but these should serve community.
