Introduction The modern world has seen growth in technology and major advancements in all sectors of the economy. The world turned has into a global village as businesses run across borders with an aim of increasing customer base. This has led to different people joining hands with a common purpose and objectives to achieve. As a result, different organizations have been formed to consolidate the efforts of different people in attaining certain set targets. According to Hatch and Cunliffe (2006, p. 2), an organization is a social arrangement that aims at attaining certain goals agreed upon by the members. It has set procedures to regulate its performance and coverage extent that distinguishes it from the environment. The business dictionary defines an organization as a social unit of various people who are managed and arranged in a systematic manner with an aim of achieving certain needs or collective goals and which is continuous in the provision of its services or goods. Organizations are studied by scholars from different fields of social sciences including the following; sociology, anthropology, social and industrial psychology, political science, engineering among others. Therefore, a study of organization is a broad area that involves the application of different theories to explain the different concepts used (Robbins, & Barnwell, 2006, p.6). During the late 19 th century, there were various social changes taking place and as a result, various scholars of that time postulated different theories of organization. A theory is a coherent group of general prepositions that are used as general principles to offer an explanation to a class of phenomena (American Heritage Dictionary, 2005, para. 6). Hatch and Cunliffe suggest that organizational theories encapsulate the history of human ideas and enhance flexibility and dynamism of students which is helpful in times of complexity and rapid change. The early theorists include the following; Emile Durkheim who is the founder of Structural Functionalism and was more concer5ned with social integration and division of labor. Karl Marx did a lot of studies on organizations through analysis of capitalistic class relations through consideration of exploitation of laborers by their employers. He viewed employers as the owners of means of production who exploited workers to maximize profits and get the benefits (Brown & Morgan, 1979, p.49). Max Weber was able to identify the strengths and limitations of rationality and bureaucracy and their effects on organizational behavior. This essay looks at how Modern, Symbolic-Interpretive, and Post-Modern perspectives of organizations encourage certain ways of thinking and speaking in an organizational setup. Ontology According to Griswold (2001, p.230), ontology is a philosophical study that involves gaining knowledge on the nature of being, the existence of a given phenomenon or a reality about something, and the categorization of the being and the relations between these categories. In organizational studies, there is a need to generate knowledge on organizations through the application of theories and the collection and analysis of different data concerning organizational structure. Ontology, therefore, looks at objectivism of the existence of an organization (Winograd 1987, p. 203). It intends to give insight into the existence of an objective reality about organizations that are much independent of our knowledge of it. It considers the organization as a complex phenomenon that exists (being) and is at times beyond human conceptualization (Weber 1987, p. 42. According to
