Argues that managing is not the only way to organize and that managerialism is a global form of ideology, which is being used to justify considerable cruelty and inequality.

Draws from a wide variety of sources – anti-corporate activism; books and films which use management as their backdrop; the movement for business ethics and corporate social responsibility; as well as critical management studies and general social theories of the present.

Opens up the possibility of exploring non-managerial alternatives to contemporary assumptions about organizing.

Encourages some radical questioning of the common sense that tells us that we need management, managers and management schools.
