Managerialism

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Managerialism is an ideology that establishes itself systemically and relentlessly inside public and commercial business organisations as well as in society, while methodically depriving owners, employees, and civil society of almost all decision-making powers. This entry explains the development of managerialism and discusses three distinct approaches to critically exploring its meaning and impact. It is argued that these different but complementary theories pave the way for a more comprehensive theory of managerialism.
