Multiparadigm Inquiry: Exploring Organizational Pluralism and Paradox
对比现代、后现代与多范式方法，综述三种多范式策略的目标、范例与局限，指出多范式探究能促进反思性但也带来挑战，适合关注组织多元性与悖论的研究者。
Organization studies is a robust field, replete with diverse, often contentious perspectives that may enrich understandings of pluralism and paradox. Yet polarization of modern paradigms and ruptures between modern and postmodern stances may inhibit researchers from tapping this potential. In response, this article delves into a provocative alternative - multiparadigm inquiry. First, we juxtapose modern, postmodern and multiparadigm approaches to contrast their underlying assumptions. We then review three multiparadigm strategies, exploring their objectives, exemplars and limitations. Our conclusion addresses how multiparadigm inquiry fosters greater reflexivity, while posing considerable challenges.
