This book examines the role that the traditional understanding of
science plays in how we understand the capitalistic system and how
it informs business and business school education. Science serves
many purposes in business organizations; it is much more than just
a method to gain knowledge about business problems. It acculturates
students to a certain way of thinking about the world and provides
a rationale for the things business does and a justification for
its purposes in society. It then utilizes the philosophy of
Classical American Pragmatism to view science in a different
manner, reconceptualizing the multiple environments in which
business functions. Author Rogene Buchholz traces the implications
of this view for our understanding of the corporation, how science
is used in business organizations, the recent financial crisis, and
finally what it means for management and management education. No
other book examines capitalism and the business system from this
unique and timely perspective.
