Abstract
Given the manifold problems of this world, we need ways to actively address them; better forms of organizing are required. I suggest that we need to embrace more humanistic forms of management and move away from economistic ones. This chapter provides a conceptual framework that allows us to get perspective on how to go about this transition.
The framework represents a synthesis of the foundational work laid down in Chapters 1-5. It outlines a number of ideal types that provide clarity of the parameters that influence our current reality. The framework also shows the possibility of alternative forms of organizing that outline our potentiality. The framework will guide a discussion of how we can transform research, practice, pedagogy and policy in the next section of the book.
