why this constant attempts to separate politics from management? i would say
that what happened yesterday has a lot to do with the way global anglo-saxon
management has colonized this world, and if anywhere, this is the right place
and time to start engaging in a serious discussion about it.
what kind of academic objectivity are you referring to?, the one that has
successfully managed to disconnect itself from the 'objective reality' of
millions of people on the 'ground' who suffer as the result of global
corporatism?
i think we should mourn the thousands of people who lost their lives yesterday.
but hopefully this will not lead to some sort of paralysis and hiding in
academic towers of babel. we need to discuss these issues maturely, we need to
develop reasons that help us to understand what happened yesterday. the media
won't do it for us. the mainstream management scholar crowd won't do it either.
