Abstract
This article discusses how the field of IHRM will be influenced in the next century by paradigmatic changes that are taking place in the soc ial sciences. The article delineates the essential constructs of nonli near dynamical systems, a vying paradigm to logical positivism, and di scusses the implications of this paradigm on the domains of IHRM resea rch. The article concludes with musings of how IHRM scholars can best prepare for and adjust to this Kuhnian-like shift in the social scienc es.
