Main Article Content

Abstract

The model proposed in this article is founded on the legacy of Max Weber. It principally elaborates on his typology of social action and his ideal types of domination. These components are reelaborated into the construction of an analytical instrument capable of contributing to the investigation of organizational-administrative configurations. The model emphasizes the coexistence, within the interior of the business organization, of a set of phenomena simultaneously opposed and complementary, in the middle of a continuous process of organization-interaction-restructuring. The business set up on a Comparative-Adaptive structure is the base type of the model, from which the Ordinance-Conservative and Liberation-Transforming subtypes are described. This article inserts new elements into the debate of how to integrate flexibility, autonomy and liberty, that proportion innovation and creativity, with stability, standardization and regulation, that favor administrative discipline and managerial control.
