Abstract

In this essay I will review two recent accounts of managerialism. The point of doing so is to focus on the research-practice "gap" not to lament it but instead to suggest that management research has been all too often taken up in practice to ignoble effect. I shall begin by discussing the broad parameters of managerialism before consideration of it as ideology, argument and genealogy. Doing so leads to a consideration of ethics and the moral basis of order as it is exhibited in different instances of culture and management studies. I shall conclude by noting the doleful impact of managerialism conceived as management.
