| Abstract: | Given the problems in the business world, it might be time to rethink business from a perspective that is not (neo)Marxist or capitalist. This article does rethink the ideology of human freedom in business. It is argued that corporations are more free than humans under capitalism. In addition, corporations, more so than humans, engage in free action, as Arendt defines action. To return to the place where human freedom is an actuality not ideology, there is the must to understand the nature of freedom and how the present situation appeared. There is the posited solution: managers must treat employees as worthy of empowerment. This solution gives organizational behaviour theory the ethical status that it has not had earlier etc. |
