critical modernists  

Definition

  • Critical modernists are scholars who remain committed to the goals and hopes of the Western Enlightenment project but demonstrate that that development has become skewed, distorted, or gone astray in various manners. Critical modernists focusing on the study of organizations are interested in both the ways contemporary organizations have contributed to the skewing of more general social and economic development and with various forms of distortion that occur within the decision processes internal to organizations.
