One of your required readings is Hirschheim, R. and Klein, H. K XXXXXXXXXXFour Paradigms of Information Systems Development.Communications of the ACM,32(10), pp XXXXXXXXXXFurther, in Lecture Topic 1 four rationales behind Organisational Analysis were identified and discussed.

This assignment explores a question that was raised in the lecture: What is “legitimate” knowledge about organizations? How is “legitimacy” Achieved?

Therefore, for this assignment, you are asked to analyze and de-construct four readings and to reconcile them to the four perspectives discussed in the lectures and in Hirsheim and Klein's XXXXXXXXXXpaper. The first assignment takes you deeper into how you deconstruct scholarly literature. The first assignment offers you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to critically analyze and organize information. To do well in this assignment, you must demonstrate a good understanding of how knowledge is legitimized, i.e. how writers attempt to convince you of their ideas.

Given Paper 1
Q1. Arguments Presented by Authors
In the given article, Powell and Osborne (2015) have presented the arguments in a response-based positive tone, in which the use of marketing is identified as an undermining factor that has restricted the social enterprises to reach their highest potentials as the existing marketing techniques are aligned to product-based concepts. The authors have used response of real life eminent persons from the targeted sector along with case studies to derive to the conclusion. The authors have used a simple na
ative style for presenting the arguments in for and against formats; have retained the tone formal and the inferences clear and comprehensible, offering easy understanding to readers.
Q2. Methods to Convince the Readers
In the cu
ent article, the authors have relied upon secondary as well as primary data, which gave the collected data legibility and generated confidence among the readers. As supported by Rawhouser et al. (2019), culminating primary and secondary data, offer better understanding to the readers as theoretical and practical data complement each other, refining the quality. In the cu
ent articles, the qualitative primary data has been collected from interviews of service managers of four distinct social enterprises in England. The managers were chosen using convenient non-probability sampling technique and used open-ended interview questions.
As for the secondary data, four case studies have been refe
ed to. The primary data have been analysed using logic based critical arguments, while for the case studies evidence based assumptions were derived. Both types of data was categorised under three themes. The derived conclusion is logically framed and is very clearly based on the collected data, which makes it less open to challenge, however, the imitated use of resources can be used as a hint for presenting alternative views.
Q3. Matching the Analysis from Previous Sections to the 4 Rationales Presented in Lecture 1 for Organisation Analysis with Justification
In case of the cu
ent article, the radical structuralist paradigm, is the best suited for analysing in a proper way.
In the cu
ent article, the traditional methods of using the principles of marketing in social enterprises, which are the same as those used for product oriented sales, have been identified as the source of the undermining factor that limit the full effectiveness of social enterprises in the society. The cu
ent article, in the form of its conclusion mentioned the replacement of the orthodox and stereotypical usage of marketing techniques with unique and service based marketing techniques, which hint at the fact that radical structuralist paradigm would be based matched for the analysis of the cu
ent article.
Powell and Osborne (2015) make it evident that the used marketing techniques by social enterprises are only considering the aspect of finance and economy, which is making the management of the social enterprises less dedicated towards the abidance of the social, cultural aspects, which hold the key to the sustainable future. The cu
ent article hints at the fact that by drawing in changes in the exiting marketing techniques and considering radically new modes of marketing would enable the social enterprises to become more effective in terms of attaining sustainable future, which can be achieved very easily by the use of radical structuralist paradigm. As supported by Hirschheim and Klein (1989), radical structuralist paradigm promotes the idea of change for betterment.
