    Este artículo se propone ordenar-organizar el puzzle de teorías y enfoques que han caracteri-zado, desde sus inicios, a la literatura organizacional. La tesis que subyace tras este propósitode ordenación de la producción teórica en el campo organizacional es que los diferentes enfo-ques y/o desarrollos teóricos sobre la organización han ido revelando «dimensiones» o face-tas de la realidad organizacional, no necesariamente excluyentes o contradictorias, aunqueninguna capaz por sí sola de dar cuenta global del fenómeno organizacional. De esta forma,se va construyendo la teoría o comprensión de dicho fenómeno a través del descubrimientode nuevas dimensiones, proceso que no parece obedecer a una lógica de acumulación sucesi-va y necesaria, aunque sí parece tolerar su comprensión integrada.

    This paper attempts to arrange the puzzle of theories that have emerged since the beginning of organizational literature. The statement underlying this attempt is that the various approaches and/or the theoretical evolution concerning the organization have uncovered dimensions or facets of the organizational realm. This dimensions are not necessarily mutually exclusive or contradictory, although none of them by itself is able to account for the overall through the discovery of new dimensions. This process does not appear to follow a logic of successive accumulation, although it does to tolerate its integrated comprehension.
