Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the functionalist approach to organizational culture, which is historically the oldest approach to culture processes in management. The analysis is carried out in conjunction with a reflection on the evolution of paradigms in the social sciences and management sciences paradigms. The article includes a critical analysis of the functionalist paradigm in the study of culture and the postulates of epistemological and methodological pluralism in management.
