They only have a small, isolated following. Over time, topics that used to be out near the fringe may make there way in toward the core of the paradigm and gain wider acceptance due to continued research confirmation. Often, these new ways of thinking can, and do, make a clean break from the existing paradigm's core and give birth to a new paradigm that is considered radical in design and revolutionary in content, rendering the prior paradigm ineffective and trivial in terms of its ability to deal with the newly raised issues of the disciplinary field. But remember, these paradigms are all human constructs. This then requires a clear understanding of epistemological issues.
All philosophy is constructed from some sort of perspective.
Our study of Business abandons the conjunctive model of two separate spheres, and instead requires a foundational world view as the basis by which to define disciplinary knowledge. This is not a mutual coexistence between the Business academy and one's foundational philosophy. First, value judgments are foundational to true academic inquiry. Faith is not a private matter separated from secular research. Second, scholars must decide whether the knower and the known are somehow related.
