“…More importantly, mutual understanding reaffirms the 'position' of a well-known framework and the establishment of the existing realms. The issue is that realms such as management society work as "comprehensive social systems" (Bechmann & Stehr, 2002), meaning the realms are reluctant to accept alternatives to intersubjective realities.…”

A management framework (like the Business Model Canvas or SWOT) is a combination of interlinked items that support a particular approach to a specific objective. Various management frameworks are widely used even though their origins, adoption, and value remain vague. Previous research tried to decipher the adoption of these management frameworks, whereas considerably less attention was devoted to the theoretical explanation of the development and value of the frameworks. This paper investigates the nature of management frameworks in particular realms using analogical reasoning between biological and social systems, and mostly draws on memetics, intersubjective reality, and the network effect. By using memetics, the explanations on the origins of well-known frameworks are complemented. Second, the paper shows the role of the network effect in the growing value of a framework until it becomes an intersubjective reality. Finally, such a framework is explained as autopoietic within a particular realm.

“…Mientras Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. luchó en la Guerra de Secesión Americana por el ejército de la Unión (White, 2006), Niklas Luhmann luchó en la Segunda Guerra Mundial para el ejército alemán (Bechmann, 2002). Ambos decidieron cursar Derecho después de dejar los conflictos armados en los cuales participaron: Holmes dejó el ejército de la Unión en 1864 y cursó Derecho en la Universidad de Harvard; Luhmann inició el curso de Derecho en la Universidad de Freiburg en 1946, después de ser libertado por los aliados (había sido piloto de la Luftwaffe en el conflicto).…”

“…Se trata de un momento muy importante en la vida del autor alemán, ya que es después de este viaje que, paulatinamente, se dirige a la producción científica hasta que, en 1968, obtiene la cátedra en la Universidad de Munster, en Bielefeld (Bechmann;Stehr, 2002).…”

Oliver W. Holmes Jr. y Niklas Luhmann presentan una relevante proximidad teórica y semejanzas en sus trayectorias de vida. Establecer las razones de la no referencia al pragmatismo jurídico en la obra del autor alemán y los elementos de contacto de perspectivas teóricas aparentemente tan disociadas son el objeto de esta investigación. Propuesta esta que pretende promover un encuentro histórico de dos teóricos con importancia indiscutible para la filosofía y la sociología jurídica del Siglo XX.

“…Others, like Wiley (), see later and White (), stress contingencies in markets; Stinchcombe , on how firms grow to sites of perceived uncertainty; Luhmann's system theory is based on uncertainty, see Bechmann and Stehr . Boltanski mentions the fantasy of managerial power to conquer uncertainty.…”

Uncertainty: the Curate's egg in financial economics

Economic theories of uncertainty are unpopular with financial experts. As sociologists, we rightly refuse predictions, but the uncertainties of money are constantly sifted and turned into semi-denial by a financial economics set on somehow beating the future. Picking out 'bits' of the future as 'risk' and 'parts' as 'information' is attractive but socially dangerous, I argue, because money's promises are always uncertain. New studies of uncertainty are reversing sociology's neglect of the unavoidable inability to know the forces that will shape the financial future.
