Phronetic organization research is phronetic social science employed in the specific study of organizations and management. Phronetic social science is an approach to the study of social phenomena based on a contemporary interpretation of the classical Greek concept phronesis, variously translated as practical judgment, common sense, or prudence. Phronetic organization researchers study organizations and management with a focus on values and power. Researchers ask and answer the following four value-rational questions for specific instances of organization and management:
- Where are we going?
- Is this development desirable?
- Who gains and who loses, and by which mechanisms of power?
- What, if anything, should we do about it?
