反思Willmott 1993年的文章，探讨'企业文化主义'对当代管理组织（包括高等教育）的持续影响，并分析其对商学院学者研究和职业生活的启示。
Abstract This article reflects upon W illmott's 1993 article (‘Strength is ignorance; slavery is freedom: managing culture in modern organizations’) by revisiting the idea of ‘ C orporate C ulturism’ and its relevance for contemporary developments in management and organization, including higher education. It incorporates a commentary on how 1984 and ‘Strength is ignorance’ have been read and some reflections on the genesis of the original 1993 article. It then expands on themes in ‘Strength is ignorance’ which are of continuing relevance, and draws out implications for our research and professional lives, as scholars, working in business schools.
