@ARTICLE{Bombała_Bronisław_The_2018, author={Bombała, Bronisław}, number={No 1-4}, journal={Zagadnienia Naukoznawstwa}, pages={3-21}, howpublished={online}, year={2018}, publisher={Komitet Naukoznawstwa PAN}, abstract={The article presents a comparative analysis of various classifi cations of both sciences’ and management sciences’ paradigms in terms of their pragmatism and adequacy regarding organization research. Furthermore, the aim of the article is also to justify the thesis about the high usefulness of research model proposed by Keneth D. Strang. Strang’s model, based on the concept of researcher’s socio-cultural philosophy, allows on the one hand to overcome the theoretical incommensurability and on the other hand makes it possible for representatives of various paradigms to cooperate with each other. The article contains also refl ections on the paradigm as a key factor affecting both the development of management sciences and the practice of management. The choice of a specifi c paradigm, i.e. research ideology, has a decisive impact on the results of research, as well as the generalization of practice. The paradigm defi nes the research strategy, selection of research methods and inference rules. Furthermore, it infl uences the education process, and thus has an impact on shaping the worldview of scientists, entrepreneurs as well as managers.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The issue of the paradigm in management science and Keneth D.
