Abstract
The emergence of the scientific method evoked many successes in the natural sciences, which inspired a migration of the method to the social sciences. As widely applied, the scientific method is analytical (rather than synthetic), positivist, and reductionist. The management literature is replete with the successes of reductionist research. However, it is incomplete because it does not recognize the holistic nature of human systems. It is timely and largely inescapable in a globalized economy to consider the synergistic and emergent potential of organizations guided by a new management theory that touches all three influences of the human reality (intellectual, emotional, and spiritual).
