Abstract
This article brings out the numerous connections that can be established between the socio‐economic approach to management (SEAM) considered as an architecture and the postmodern movement. The authors analyze the contribution of SEAM to the postmodern management approach, through the process of the construction and reconstruction of managerial discourses within the framework of socio‐economic interventions. They tackle the controversial issue of pessimism vs optimism in postmodern approach to conclude that SEAM is a tool and a method, which makes it possible to better control order and chaos so as to create positive change.
