Debating Management Learning: II
探讨管理工作的本质作为正式学习的一种形式，并分析社会学和经济学对管理研究的影响，旨在引发对大学管理研究中技术主义与批判之间平衡的思考。
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.
