From the Paper:

"The contemporary analysis of paradigms thus initiated with publication of the book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Thomas Kuhn in 1962 and extended to other spheres through the books and videos of Joel Barker. The present day organizations have demonstrated a revolutionary change since 1960s. Varied factors impelled such variations. Growing telecommunications, increasing diversity of workers, their perspectives and expectations has resulted in varied values. The public become more conscious to necessitate the organization to become more responsible socially. Such elements have necessitated adoption of new paradigm so as to become more sensitive, flexible and compatible to the requirement and expectations of the demands of the stakeholders. Most of the organizations felt it essential to abandon the traditional top-down, rigid and hierarchical structures to become more organic and fluid forms. The managers felt is essential presently to address the requirements of the continual, rapid variations."
