Social Construction and Relational Approaches to Organizational Change

Thursday, March 1, 2001

March 2001. Ken and Mary Gergen presented a theoretically oriented workshop of broad practical significance. In conjunction with the Illinois Benedictine University PhD program in Organization Development, the workshop explored fundamental issues in social constructionist theory, and their relevance for organizational stability and change. Constructionist concepts of collaborative meaning making were extended into the domain of relational theory, enabling a variety of specific organizational issues to be treated.
