Abstract
El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar que el discurso administrativo, expuesto en sus textos fundamentales, se puede ubicar en el campo de la retórica, en particular cuando buscan persuadir y cuando hacen sus propuestas heurísticas (Lakatos, 1989; Laudan, 1986; Polanyi, 1958). La retórica la entiendo, con Perelman (1989) y Toulmin (2007), como teoría de la argumentación que busca persuadir o convencer, así como producir modelos o constructos viables. Lo anterior en el campo de las proposiciones performativas (Austin, 1955), no demostrativas empíricamente, recuperando la racionalidad práctica aristotélica. Muestro en el trabajo desde la retórica, la pasión persuasiva en textos administrativos como los de Harold Koontz respecto a cómo solucionar «la jungla semántica» o desorden semántico administrativo; y Reyes Ponce proponiendo aumentar un sexto elemento en el proceso administrativo, que es previsión; así como la pasión heurística en los modelos «normativos», no descriptivos, propuestos primero por Harold Koontz, en sus 5 funciones de la administración, segundo por Mary Parker Follet con sus 3 modelos de mando, en franca controversia con el modelo autoritario. Ambas pasiones permiten entender la construcción de la realidad social, en particular, organizacional.
Rhetoric and administrative discourse
Abstract
The goal that has this paper is to show that the administrative discourse, exposed in its basic texts, can be located in the field of rhetoric, particularly when seeking to persuade; and when they make their heuristic proposals (Lakatos, 1989; Laudan, 1986; Polanyi, 1958). I understand the rhetoric, with Perelman (1989) and Toulmin (2007) as an argumentation theory that seeks to persuade or convince so as to produce models or viable constructs. This in the field of performative propositions, not demonstrative empirically (Austin, 1955) recovering the Aristotelian practical rationality. Sampling in this work from rhetoric, persuasive passion in administrative texts such as Harold Koontz on how to solve “the semantic jungle” or administrative semantic disorder; and Reyes Ponce proposing to raise and include a sixth element in the administrative process, which is forecast; heuristics and passion in “normative” not descriptive, proposed first by Harold Koontz, in its five functions of management, second by Mary Parker Follett three models of command, in open dispute with the authoritarian model. Both passions allow the understanding of social reality construction, in particular organizational.
