Organizational Transformation and Habermas' Theory of communicative action
This was actually my presentation during the oral exam in this major. I apply Habermas theory of communicative action to organizational transformation. While communicative action has great advantages as a coordination form, namely high motivation and low coordination costs, this coordination form can be become a major barrier to necessary organizational transformation. As members of the organizations coordinate their actions on a certain paradigm, the aim of the organizational transformation is to change this paradigm in order to secure the survival of the organization. A possible solution to this dilemma is the application of Edgar Scheins’ cultural layers and a distinction into a system and process view of organizational transformation. The presentations uses two case studies (R&D-firm and aviation industry) and empirical evidence to support its evidence.
