Abstract

This research aims to examine modern organizational theory and critical organizational theory as two emerging approaches within organizational science. Modern organizational theory views organizations as open systems that must adapt to the external environment through structural flexibility, transformational leadership, learning organizations, and the use of technology and knowledge management. Meanwhile, critical organizational theory presents itself as an approach that questions the relations of power, domination, ideology, and alienation within organizational life.
