A brief Dialogue between Decolonization and Organizational Studies in Venezuela

This paper seeks to contribute to the debate between decolonization and organizational studies (OS) in Venezuela, opening the doors to the multiple ways of doing things and not from the best. It is approached from the colonizing imprint, using for its analysis a reflexive methodology from a bibliographic review. It deals with two topics, the oil boom, colonization, and its results, and the os in Venezuela and the need for decolonization from an organizational point of view. In this way, the oil theme, as an organizational phenomenon in a country with a rural culture and a backwardness since the nineteenth century, will allow us to understand and omprehend the culture dominated by the “modern,” brought from the United States and the United Kingdom. The economic bonanza resulting from oil exploitation in a mono-producer country will show the marginalization of knowledge. The organizational phenomena that emerged from the oil organizational phenomenon are varied, therefore, the epistemological decolonization, from the bases of the os as anarchies organized within the polysemic meaning of the organization, will be an indispensable tool to deconstruct and reconstruct the emerging organization of the twenty-first century.
