Special Issue on developments in Critical Management Studies

The expansion of business and management studies over the last two decades in economically advanced and developing countries has been a key feature of higher education across the globe. At both the undergraduate and postgraduate level business and management education continues to have a major effect on higher education.  At the undergraduate level, as the number of students studying business degrees rises so does the numbers studying business as part of a wide range of other degrees.  The MBA and the Business School have become major export icons of business and management.  Management knowledge has spread to a wider range of occupations in practice - to the managerialisation of work.

The emergence of critical management studies in major disciplinary areas and the Academy seeks to examine the genesis, effects and significance of these developments in management education and management practice.  Established disciplines of the social sciences, including sociology have provided many of the intellectual roots and tools of management theory and practice.
