Özet
In recent years, postmodernism and complexity have been discussed intensively in the social sciences. Postmodernism, as a concept, has been widely discussed from the organization theory perspective. It's expected that complexity theory will make important contributions to the organization research. In this study, postmodernism and complexity theory, which is implied to have strong connections with each other in the literature, are examined as well as being positioned at the Burrell and Morgan framework. Results of the study show that postmodernism and complexity theories are relatively different from each other. As postmodernism is generally positioned at the radical-humanist section, complexity theory is mostly positioned at the functionalist section.
