Abstract

We explore privilege and its systemic intertwining with management education curricula. We take the view that privilege as power and control is intimately bound up with shareholder primacy as a foundation of mainstream management education (Lund Dean & Forray, 2021). In an attempt to tackle this, we provide a single case study of how we appreciate a broad concept of Indigenous stewardship in a brand-new foundation unit called “Responsible Business Mindset,” as part of a Master of Commerce program at a large Australian university. By proactively engaging with Indigenous stewardship to tackle privilege we contribute to the literature on engaging with privilege in management education curricula. We highlight how a concept of Indigenous stewardship may help us to reimagine business, where business no longer ignores the interconnections and interdependencies it has with the communities and natural environments within which it operates. Such a concept may also be a means to bolster alternative narratives to shareholder primacy that currently exclude a meaningful debate about privilege. At the same time, the entire exercise of introducing a new concept into the curricula has brought about a deep and critical self-reflection of our own privilege and how we as educators can respectfully and meaningfully introduce such concepts with a sense of appreciation rather than appropriation.

颠覆特权作为权力和控制:管理教育课程中对商业的重新想象与本土管理的欣赏
我们探讨特权及其与管理教育课程的系统交织。我们认为,作为权力和控制的特权与股东至上密切相关,是主流管理教育的基础(Lund Dean & Forray, 2021)。为了解决这个问题,我们提供了一个案例研究,说明我们如何在一个名为“负责任的商业心态”的全新基金会单元中理解土著管理的广泛概念,该单元是澳大利亚一所大型大学商业硕士课程的一部分。通过积极参与土著管理以解决特权问题,我们为管理教育课程中参与特权的文献做出了贡献。我们强调土著管理的概念如何可以帮助我们重新构想企业,使企业不再忽视它与其经营所在的社区和自然环境之间的相互联系和相互依存关系。这样一个概念也可能是一种支持股东至上的替代叙事的手段,目前这种叙事排除了关于特权的有意义的辩论。与此同时,在课程中引入新概念的整个过程带来了对我们自己的特权的深刻和批判性的自我反思,以及我们作为教育者如何以欣赏而不是挪用的方式尊重和有意义地引入这些概念。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Management Education (JME) encourages contributions that respond to important issues in management education. The overriding question that guides the journal’s double-blind peer review process is: Will this contribution have a significant impact on thinking and/or practice in management education? Contributions may be either conceptual or empirical in nature, and are welcomed from any topic area and any country so long as their primary focus is on learning and/or teaching issues in management or organization studies. Although our core areas of interest are organizational behavior and management, we are also interested in teaching and learning developments in related domains such as human resource management & labor relations, social issues in management, critical management studies, diversity, ethics, organizational development, production and operations, sustainability, etc. We are open to all approaches to scholarly inquiry that form the basis for high quality knowledge creation and dissemination within management teaching and learning.
