Delimitation of social systems

Resumo

The model of conception and analysis of social systems is uni-dimensional: thus, the organizational theory is also uni-dimensional, because what are resources and what is production is decided by the market. In fact, modem societies face serious problems caused by the super-expansion of the market. According to the author, this fact arises the interest on the delimitation of social systems as an effort to establish limits and frontiers, where the change system of the market can operate. The author concludes that the delimitation of social systems transcends the conventional dichotomy between capitalist and socialist developmental orientations. Finally, the author suggests that perhaps an alternative can emerge for the society centered in the market from the incipient stage of institutionalization we are facing now.
