| Abstract: | This paper seeks to make a contribution to the critical literature on management and, particularly, to the critique of managerialism. This is achieved via a consideration of the hitherto neglected writing of Simone Weil (1909-1943) on management, work and organizations. Following an introduction, attention is focused on Weil's notion of oppression, and detailed consideration is given to the conceptualization of management as a form of oppression. It is suggested that Weil offers the basis of a non-relativist post-Marxist form of ethically grounded critique in the field of management studies. |
