ABSTRACT
Radical paradigm shifts represent profound and transformative changes in fundamental beliefs, theories, or methodologies within a given field or society. These shifts often challenge established norms, theories, and ways of thinking, leading to significant disruptions in existing frameworks. Radical paradigm shifts can result from scientific breakthroughs, technological advancements, cultural revolutions, or philosophical reconsiderations. Successfully navigating radical paradigm shifts requires openness to new ideas, flexibility, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty and change. This chapter explores instances of radical paradigm shifts that challenge and redefine the core principles of management science. Through in-depth analysis, readers will examine the profound implications of these transformative moments for theory and practice.
