Abstract
The traditional management paradigm is experiencing attrition and crisis (Pirson, 2012). The basis on which it has been constructed, centers on the understanding that social actors’ actions are based on the principle of rationality and seek to maximize their assets and resources, regardless of the quest for well-being (Dabat, 2009; Pirson et al., 2009). The implementation of this paradigm has damaged the social fabric and has created patterns of socioeconomic inequality that, far from seeking to improve human beings, seem to encourage their destruction in every sphere and dimension (Dabat, 2009; Parmar et al., 2010; Pirson, 2012).
