Integrating Modernist and Postmodernist Perspectives on Organizations: A Complexity Science Bridge
利用阿什比必要多样性定律和复杂性科学，特别是幂律分布现象，将现代主义寻求秩序与后现代主义寻求丰富性的本体论假设整合到一个统一框架中，解决管理研究中的范式对立。
Competition between modernism and postmodernism has not been fruitful, and management researchers are divided in their preference, thereby undermining the legitimacy of truth claims in the field as a whole. Drawing on Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety, on complexity science, and in particular on power-law-distributed phenomena, we show how the order-seeking regime of the modernists and the richness-seeking regime of the postmodernists draw on different ontological assumptions that can be integrated within a single overarching framework.
