In this article there is exposed in very summarized way, the epistemological problematic of the organizational studies and the paradigms and main theories starting off from which a diversity of authors have formulated during XX century a series of focuses, concepts, categories and descriptive, explanatory and interpretive models of the organizational phenomenon. This has generated a great fragmentation of the field, but it has also enriched the debate with a multiplicity of theoretical perspectives that, sometimes complementarily and other times contradictorily, provide a complex and multifaceted look of the organizations that cannot be reduced to a single paradigm and much less still to a single theory.
