Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to review the concept of paradigms and justification for the proposal to elect one of them to describe organizational reality. First of all there were described the methods of isolating the paradigms in management sciences. Next, the possible use of the science of management paradigms based on the classification of G. Burrell and G. Morgan was pointed out. The analysis of the applicability of paradigms derived from the model of G. Burrell and G. Morgan points to the cognitive usefulness of this concept for research for organization and management. The perceptions of processes: organizational, cultural, change management, human resource management and marketing, taking into account the four described cognitive perspectives, may open new horizons: theoretical, methodological and pragmatic.
