Chapter Chapter 5 in Organizational Structuralism, 2023, pp 117-147 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the Methodological Foundations of Organizational Structuralism are presented and analysed such as the necessity of a deductive approach based on observation. Various methodological frames of reference, concepts and patterns have been transposed and adapted to the structuralistic organizational theory deriving from physics or natural sciences and in particular Biology. The main ones are: the Law of noncontradiction as a key concept in organizational structuralism, the Principle of uncertainty in organizational theory and Design, the exclusion principle in Organizational Theory and Design, the Principle of invariance: the first fundamental pillar in Organizational Theory and Design, the principle of teleonomy as the main driver for the creation of symbolic structures, some conceptual deepening of the homogenetic principle, the phylogenetic principle as a fundamental property in organizational theory, the Principle of organizational autonomy, the principle of incompleteness in organizational theory, the principle of successive approximations applied in organizational theory, the principle of observer interference and other important methodological concepts are thoroughly treated.
