in Management
:!?:
Unspoken
Ideologies :zipper_mouth_face:
Individualism
Social theory that emphasises that the needs if each person are more important than the needs of the whole society

The belief in the value of professional managers and of concepts and methods they used
Capitalism
Economic and political system where trade and industry is controlled by private owners for profit
Neo-liberalism
Transfer of control of economic factors to the private sector from the public sector
Criticism :angry:
Alienation (Marx & Engels)
Workers give up ownership of labour for wages; exploitation of the worker
Bureaucracy (Weber)
Power in bureaucracy is concentrated in limited few who tend to be unregulated and has free reign of organisation
Oppression (Weil)
Degradation of workers; they are treated as a means to an end
Assumptions :bulb:
Focus was to identify one best way to organise
Fayol & Weber - hierarchy of authority and responsibility to control and coordinate
Organisation is a system of inter-related parts
Companies maintain competitive advantage due to their distinctive purpose
Expectations of managers
Managers are employed to use their expertise in a variety of organisations;
Work in uncertain conditions, in possession of imperfect data; immense pressure
To be responsive
Managers = experts
CMS Studies
:books:
Denaturalisation
Aim to break down and question traditions established by managerial processes
Reflective
Management is focused on abiding by the established standards and expectations without questioning their validity from other perspectives
CMS argues why positivism is argued for
Non-performative
Identifying the true lived experiences of being managed and managing; not exploiting knowledge/skills of workers solely for efficiency
