Description
Book SynopsisA clarion call to shut down the business school!
Trade Review'This is a tour de force of contemporary critical management thinking. All too often, the textbooks and the MBAs get in the way of what should be the future for business - participative, value-creating and sustainable. Read, learn... and shut down the business school' -- Ed Mayo, Secretary General, Co-operatives UK
'Business schools are at the centre of the malaise of financialized capitalism... Parker prescribes the nuclear option - termination. His replacement is a focus upon sustainable organising that champions alternatives to more-of-the-same hierarchical organisation, market-based forms of exchange and the necessity of management' -- Hugh Wilmott, Professor of Management, Cass Business School, City University London
