This article aims at presenting an analytical frame to be used by organization researchers, health managers, and health evaluators as a guide to promote critical analysis of organizational interventions usually presented as powerful management tools for changing undesirable situations. The current analytical scheme stems from a research on doctoral theses submitted from 2000 through 2004 in major Brazilian universities. It was intended to identify the main paradigms used in such recent academic work. It comprises "ideal types" known as "organizational intervention fields" based on some theoretical productions in the area of Human Sciences.
