Abstract

The management textbook is a fundamental tool in the education of business students.This article uses a critical hermeneutic analysis to examine how major social and political issues of the past six decades have been incorporated into the management textbook in ways that increase the power and unquestioned acceptance of the corporate discourse.The specific social and political events addressed are the feminist revolution and the civil rights movement.
