This paper aims to conduct a study about the major epistemological approaches, identified in articles on the subject of organizational strategy. The theoretical framework that guided this research is based on the classical definition proposed by Burrell and Morgan (1979) about the four paradigms of social science research. We investigated articles in the area of Administration, Accounting and Tourism, published in Brazilian journals between the years 2001 to 2012, classified as "B1" and "B2" in accordance with Qualis / CAPES criteria. In order to meet this goal, we performed a bibliometric study to map the selected publications. As a result of this study, there was a predominance of the functionalist paradigm, as well as a reduced presence of articles which explain their theoretical and methodological choices as the foundation for their empirical studies.
