Managers are powerful. The organizations of our time are in essence
managerial organizations, even our societies are managerial
societies. This book looks behind the portrait of management as
value-free 'technicality' and challenges the image of managers as
the selfless pursuer of an organization's survival and development.
It explains that individual interests and careers of managers are
only part of a wider epochal and historic picture - the picture of
managers as the new ruling class using and misusing organizations
for their own personal and group interests while portraying their
own roles and actions as 'increasing the efficiency of
organizations' and 'serving the public interest'. But why exactly
are managers so powerful? Why and how do managers dominate our
organizations? It will be argued that the prevailing understanding
of management and managers is only at the surface about functional
aspects. In its very core management has been, and is, all about
the power and control, interests and ideology of managers--in
short, the dominance of managers over other groups of people. In
order to investigate and explain this dominance, a
multi-dimensional 'theory of social dominance of managers', will be
developed which reveals the personal and group interests behind
such claims and is based in its core on three explanatory factors;
power, interests, and ideology. These factors themselves will be
analyzed as comprehensive, multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary
concepts in order to address the complex nature of managers'
dominance appropriately.
