This paper argues that its propensity to specialization, and its preoccupation with analytical/parts-thinking, has locked Western society through a socialization process, based on a mechanistic/materialistic world view, in a situation of harmful imbalance. Counterforces are arising, however, that pertain to a systemic/holistic model, emphasizing a more balanced view which includes such concepts as intuition, synthesis and wholes-thinking. A few salient examples will be pointed out from the field of organization and management. It is suggested that a new socialization process may be rooted in a synthesis of Eastern and Western norms and values.
