After the financial collapse of 2008 and the bailing out of banks
in the US and the UK, the long-term viability of the neoliberal
doctrine has come under new scrutiny. The elimination of regulatory
control, the financialization of the economy including the growth
of increasingly complex financial innovations, and the dominance of
a rentier class have all been subject to thorough criticism.
Despite the unexpected meltdown of the financial system and the
substantial costs for restoring the finance industry, critics
contend that the same decision-makers remain in place and few
substantial changes to regulatory control have been made. Even
though neoliberal thinking strongly stresses the role of the market
and market-based transactions, the organization theory and
management literature has been marginally concerned with
neoliberalism as a political agenda and economic policy. This book
examines the consequences of neoliberalism for management thinking
and management practice. Managerial practices in organizations are
fundamentally affected by a political agenda emphasizing
competition and innovation. Concepts such as auditing, corporate
social responsibility, shareholder value, and boundariless careers
are some examples of managerial terms and frameworks that are
inextricably entangled with the neoliberal agenda. This book
introduces the literature on neoliberalism, its history and
controversies, and demonstrates where neoliberal thinking has
served to rearticulate managerial practice, including in the areas
of corporate governance, human resource management, and regulatory
control of organizations.
