Author
Summary, in English
argued to be moving into new territories, changing its focus towards the ideas that organizes a system or environment (Buchanan, 2001).

In this paper we describe the ontological and epistemological development of organizational theory, change, and development with the aim to discuss the role of design thinking as an enabling
concept in the revitalization of organizational development that includes a reintroduction of democratic values in organizational change.
