Reaching the true nature of organizations: human and social finalities

Abstract

Why do organizations exist? Which is their true nature? Why are the majority of our actual organizations exclusively aiming at financial growth and disregarding the needs of social and human nature? How and why are most of the management practices answering to this financial expectation? Why do we as members of a society that conceives organizations to answer our collective needs, allow some of its members to not answer the prerogatives invested in them? How do we as members of the collective, as well as members of organizations, consider these issues within our knowledge of organizational and management practices and theory? Are we objectives in our own right or just a means of financial productivity?
