Research Paradigm exploration-Part III.; Alan Bryman and and Emma Bell's book help me ...

Finally this book makes me understand clearly about research paradigms..This book also cites the book that I should read based on sv's recommendation(Burrel and Morgan's,1979; Sociological Paradigms and ............ )

So I can understand at least what is 'competing paradigms'

So far this terms Bryman and Emma (2003) explain in more easy words....

-OBJECTIVIST ~~~~ external viewpoint - to view the organization- comprised consistently with processes and structures

-SUBJECTIVIST ~~~~ organization as socially constructed product-point view from individual of their social experience


-REGULATORY ~~~~ tends to purpose of business research - organization description-suggest minor changes- not make judgement for the organization

-RADICAL ~~~~ to make judgments - to make suggestions that could be achieved

FROM THAT 4 POSSIBLE PARADIGMS POSITIONS.................

-FUNCTIONALIST; dominant framework ; study the organizations - problem solving

-INTERPRETATIVE; questions either organization exist as social actors

-RADICAL HUMANIST;social arrangement= organization

-RADICAL STRUCTURALIST; organizations = structural power relationships - conflicts

So far I'm still in explorations...if can, I also will be have some discussion with my fellow friends.....sometimes lonely study tends to misunderstand too......
