Abstract
Contrasts critical theory, a collection of writings which critique dominate ideology, with traditional organizational sciences by considering six questions which illustrate their differences. Critical theory (CT) incorporates both natural and hermeneutic sciences to critique dominate perspectives in organizational sciences. Offers recent examples of CT‐oriented literature to illustrate the differences.
