Continuing this post, here is Mark Edwards' Ph.D. thesis turned into a book. Check out
the different lenses in Chapter 6 and how he relates them in Chapter 7. E.g.:
"In
general, theorists rely on only a small number of conceptual lenses in
developing their explanations of organisational transformation. This
means that, for example, process theorists ignore structural lenses,
such as those used by multilevel theorists, and developmental theorists
make very little use of the transition process or learning lenses.
Theorists who come from a standpoint or relational perspective often
neglect the developmental and multilevel lenses and those lenses
expressed as bipolar dualisms. In fact, the extensive list of lenses in
Table 7.1 suggests that most theorists are relying on a relatively
limited conceptual base in developing explanations for transformational
occurrences. This exclusionism has several unfortunate implications for
theories of transformation in organisational settings" (134).
