Abstract: Abstract There are many ways of conceiving of organisational change. Two broad conceptions emerge: the structural functionalist approach (Burrell & Morgan 1979) and the social constructionist approach (Berger & Luckmann 1967). This brief review attempts to piece together a story that begins in the generic structural functionalist paradigm and moves to the context of healthcare and alternative conceptions of narratives and social constructionist theory, highlighting a gap in research literature.
