Abstract:There is an increasing amount of working class drifters, sociology graduates and ex-leftist politicians, or 'critters', teaching in UK business schools. Unlike labour process theory (LPT), critical management studies (CMS) has accustomed to its institutional location within business schools and has taken the opportunity to become a part of the business school constituency. There are one or two critically oriented business schools in the UK, where the contradictions of CMS are finished. One of these contradictions is that CMS finds itself faces with an autonomist critique which calls for the abolition of business schools. Thinking carefully about this critique provides a chance to explore the identity of critters and the cultural performativity of CMS in providing a sign for their disaffiliation from the business school.
