Shut down the Business School: What’s Wrong with Management Education

Abstract

In this book, Martin Parker inquires into the established discourses of organising and managing, and the way they are propagated, and finds them wanting. His basic thesis is that what business schools teach, and what they stand for, are very narrow, politically selective and presented as a form of naturalised truth (Jenkins 2007, 104) – rendering them unaccountable when it comes to their influence on society at large.
