Abstract: This paper examines the assumptions of environmental theories, proposing a classificatorymetatheoretical framework, based on two analyticaldimensions: the nature of the externalenvironment and the nature of organization-environment relationship. The classification ofenvironmental schools in these dimensions results four generic perspectives: the classical vision,the harmonious vision, the congregating vision andthe constructivist vision. The model presentedaims to transcend problems inherent to the excessive fragmentation, focusing the interrelationamong divergent theoretical perspectives. However,it preserves advantages associated to thetheoretical pluralism. It is concluded that a suitable comprehension of the strategic management isbased on the consideration of the dialectics between nominalism and realism and betweendeterminism and voluntarism. The tension between these opposite models of analysis elucidates,though partially, the theoretical debates and the contradictions of theories about strategy and theexternal environment of organizations. This way, the assumptions of these dimensions determinevisions of the world, consisting of paradigms and the interaction of these approaches means acontest for the future determination of the aspectsof the organizational life
