Debating Management Learning: II

Abstract

Part I of this paper (Fox, 1994) sketched an initial definition of management learning and offered a framework for research in the field. Addressed in part II are (a) the research on the nature of managerial work as a species of formal learning about the occupational activity of formal management; and (b) the research on the management and organization of management studies, with the purpose of opening up and problematizing a wider issue—the relationship between social studies/science and management studies/science. Part II briefly examines the sociological critique of the nature of managerial work literature and discusses the organization and internal management of sociology and economics as they have influenced management studies. The paper is exploratory, aiming to draw connections between disparate literatures and to raise fundamental questions about university management studies and the balance between what could be called technicism and critique.
