The Socioeconomic Approach to Management: Methodological Positioning.

This paper explores the positioning of the socioeconomic approach to management (SEAM) onto three streams. Starting with the positioning in the action research literature stretching to organizational development, the second stream studies the ontological and epistemological underpinning followed by the socioeconomic methodology and strategy. The third stream situates the method in the strategic management control realm. The approach builds on a literature review that yielded a theoretical positioning diagram, and proved to be a solid basis for the subsequent socioeconomic interventions in management consultancy.
