The foreword was written by Dr. Joaquín Gairín, Professor of Educational Pedagogy and Organization at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Among other points, he emphasizes that “beyond the formalization and developments presented, the value of this contribution lies in the two messages it conveys. On an implicit level, there remains a call for the need to maintain and promote models for studying organizations that go beyond mere structural analysis and advance in the description and understanding of complex human dynamics. On an explicit level, the review conducted helps us understand the strengths and weaknesses of existing proposals related to change and self-evaluation for improvement, offering new perspectives and ways of understanding and analyzing institutional dynamics.”
