A Volksgemeinschaft of Passive Spectators
Possibly ever since Paul Hilberg’s seminal Perpetrators, Victims, Bystanders: The Jewish Catastrophe, 1933–1945 was published in 1992, the issue of passive bystanders in Nazi Germany has been debat
Transforming organisations for triple bottom line
Sustainable human resource management (HRM) has faced challenges in supporting sustainable strategies for better triple bottom line (TBL) performance. This paper aims to answer the question “How can sustainable HRM strategies and bundles of practices be aligned with corporate sustainability strategies to enhance triple bottom line (TBL) performance?” The current study reviews the literature on sustainable HRM and TBL to identify how the literatur…
"When "Genghis Khan Joined Hands with an Eugen Fischer
Much has been written on the issue of Nazi medicine during the almost eighty years that have passed since Germany's liberation from Nazism.The Lancet's 70,000-word and 73page-long report on Nazi medicine was published eighty-five years-almost to the dayafter the Nazi pogrom.The pogrom became known by its Nazi term Kristallnacht, a word coined by top-Nazi and SS-Brigadefhrer Wilhelm Brger (1896-1962) when he claimed that "the Reichskristallnacht w…
Reckoning with the Unbearable Burden of the Past
is divided into four parts: "The German War and its Legacies 1942 to the 1960s"; "One Nation, Two States 1949 to 1989"; "After the Wall 1989 to 2022"; and "Trying to be Good 1950s to the Present."Frank Trentmann's rather sweeping historical overview of Germany begins with what has become in recent times a truism: "Awareness of the Holocaust is as important as ever" (5).For the writer as for the reviewer, it is always helpful when authors note, "T…

What Is Managerialism
The term 'managerialism' has been widely used but theoretical publications on managerialism remain rare while theory development continues to be insufficient. This article is a contribution to the current discussion on managerialism. Managerialism is a deeply ideological project transcending its traditional position when entering into society. The following theoretical rather than empirical article sets out to present a short overview of the curr…

German government investigates anti-Semitism
Anti-Semitism in Germany has a long tradition. It dates back to religious anti-Semitism many centuries ago culminating in the Holocaust. More recently, anti-Semitism was rising again in Germany. At least partly, it was encouraged by recent news reports on the Israel-Palestine conflict. This occurred at the time when a new Anti-Semitic party - the Alternative for Germany - emerged at Germany's political scene. To ascertain the prevalence of anti-S…
Negative recognition
The publications of Taylor (1994) and Honneth (1995) have ignited a renewed interest in the Hegelian theme of recognition. But recognition has not only positive aspects, as there are also negative connotations to recognition seen as misrecognition. What might be termed negative recognition argues that there is more to recognition than simple misrecognition. This article aims to show that negative recognition reaches beyond misrecognition and non-…

A preliminary theory of managerialism as an ideology
While many know or have used the term Managerialism, the development of a theory about Managerialism remains largely non‐existent. When management becomes an ideology we speak of Managerialism reaching beyond the simple administration of a business organisation. Like many “‐isms”, Managerialism carries connotations to ideology, thereby leading to the question: what would the development of a theory of Managerialism's ideology look like? Since Man…
Germany's Secret Service Investigates the Alternative for Germany
By the end of 2018, Germany's secret service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz) started composing a report on Germany's most notorious right-wing political party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD). In January 2019, one of the authors asked Germany's secret service to supply this report but was told "It's secret." On 28 January 2019, a short note even noted: "We will not send the document."…
Alternative for Germany
In September 2017, a new political party entered Germany's parliament harvesting anti-establishment feelings while converting frustrations over neoliberalism into xenophobia and racism. The new party calls itself “Alternative for Germany” (AfD). Corporate media label the party “populist” and “right wing.” This commentary argues that the party has clear Nazi tendencies. Originally founded as a pro-capitalism, pro-neoliberalism, anti-Europe, and na…

Even though Adorno (1903–1969) never met Heidegger (1889–1976), and Arendt (1906–1975) never met Adorno, Arendt infamously said about Adorno, “he will never come to our house” [der kommt uns nicht

Neo-Liberal Industry Policy and Employment Relations in Australia's Shipping Industry
This paper examines Australian neo-liberal shipping policy and the resulting employment characteristics of the current era. The author argues on the basis of documentary and interview research, for a significant discontinuity in contemporary policy and employment practices. These discontinuities are cumulative, and are part of a causal chain involving government, employers, customers and trade unions. With the rise of neo-liberalism, Australian s…
A Theory of Employment Systems
A Theory of Employment Systems considers why there are such great international differences in the way employment relations are organized within the firm. Taking account of the growing evidence that international diversity persists despite 'globalization', it sets out from the theory of the firm first developed by Coase and Simon, and explains why firms and workers should use the employment relationship as the basis for their economic cooperation…

Men of Uncertainty
Japan is a country strongly associated with strong, long-term relationships, whether they be located within kin- groups, local communities or large industrial enterprises. Yet Japan also has a long tradition of people who have been excluded from these relationships, whether voluntarily (hermits, mendicant monks, etc.) or compulsorily (outcasts etc.). This thesis deals with a contemporary category of people who operate largely outside the certaint…

A General Motors works council’s response to the capitalist global financial crisis
The 2008-2009 global financial crisis (GFC) has negatively impacted on banks, financial institutions and companies such as General Motors (GM), bringing the latter’s European subsidiary close to insolvency and highlighting some of the US car manufacturer’s long-term problems, which were solved through a partial takeover by the US government. In Germany, GM’s strongest presence in Europe, the company had a close encounter with bankruptcy in the sp…

Reflections on Phelan’s Neoliberalism, Media, and the Political
Seeking to overcome the “Blindspot of Western Marxism”, Phelan’s insightful book discusses neo-liberalism, the media, and the political by defacing neo-liberalism, analysing journalism using neo-liberal media control of New Zealand and Ireland (the so-called Celtic Tiger) as well as the case of “Climategate” as prime examples. The core argument of the book is to relate neo-liberalism to media and the way it colonises the public, which Phelan call…
Reflections on Bolaño’s Culture Industry
Bolaño’s study of the culture industry builds on Adorno and Horkheimer’s “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception” linking it to Habermas’ and Enzensberger’s work. The key to Bolaño is the working out of the double task of what might be called “media capitalism”, namely merging the circulation of commodities through marketing and advertising to the ideological task of pro-capitalist propaganda that, at least ideologically sustains c…

Critical management studies and critical theory

It starts with a brief outline of management studies vs. CMS, and of some of CMS’s goals: micro-emancipation, the production of better managers, good management, and fairer organisations. The aim is to provide an overview of current literature, to outline critical theory’s…

Wild Socialism
This short book explains workers councils and the social revolution of 1918–21 in Germany's capital Berlin. It explains the role of the state, political parties, trade unions and the workers councils that sought to move society and state towards wild socialism. The term “Wild Socialism” gained significance when it was used against the revolutionary workers councils. These councils developed a “wild” council socialism as “an alternative to both So…
