摘要：The organizational studies and management practices have been going through constant revolutions. Thus, this article examines how the major theories of organizations have evolved from the perspective of scientific revolutions Kuhn (1962). To this end, it was the use of mixed method research. The first analysis indicated that organizational theories evolve in a non-cumulative, appropriating revolutions in other areas of knowledge such as sociology, psychology, biology, building, therefore its paradigm. Because there are several views about organizational phenomena, without a clear adoption of one paradigm by scientists and managers, it is concluded that organizational theories may be pre-paradigmatic phase, as shown Kühn.
