Abstract

There has long been a managerialist approach to business and organisations. It has been assumed that a common set of management tools and techniques can be applied regardless of the domain of application. Management has become a field in itself, with domain knowledge relegated to a subordinate role. On this basis, students aspire to careers in “management”, and assume that they do not need to gain initial experience and knowledge of practice. In the UK, agriculture and manufacturing have declined. The focus is now on services, and in particular on financial services.
