Abstract: Conclusion We have argued that complementarism seems to be a viable option inside the more general position of pluralism, although more research is needed into the possibility for people to be multiparadigmatic. We have done this through an examination of the notion of paradigm incommensurability, and of he assumption that we can talk about vocabularies not directly tied to people. Besides, we have argued that complementarism is a position that needs to make use of vocabularies and therefore be a paradigm on its own when put into practice, and that these paradigms, having as domain of action paradigms as such, may be in a relation that is circular. Complementarism should recognise its paradigmatic nature and give up its pretensions of being outside all languages and paradigms, and continue in the path it already started when adopted an interpretivist position on the different paradigms in management science.
