Abstract

This study discusses the potential of Boaventura Santos’ thoughts concerning the organizational studies, which are considered counter-hegemonic, once they not only criticize the mainstream scientific paradigm, but also point out epistemic alternatives aiming to achieve a different understanding of reality. Apropos the ideas of Boaventura Santos potential - as well as Habernas, Foucault and Derrida are references to the organizational critique studies, it is believed that – the author’s studies can also contribute to the organizational studies. The logical overcoming of monocultures is an important step towards a new path to be followed by organizations. Identifying and giving credit to different knowledge existing in the social and management practices can ease the social relations established into the organizations in order to have them guided by counter-hegemonic knowledge.
