Abstract
Management is a practice of coordinating and governing
collective action. Leading this social collaboration and this organizational
practice called management, a research question remains: What is the Essence of
Management? The literature considers
that the modern capitalist system gave rise to management practices. But, both capitalism and management
preexisted modern industrial revolution.
This historical amalgam creates a misleading belief that management can
only be applied within this historical materialism. This fundamental research
through sociological and anthropological metasynthesis reveals how Management
is a social practice independent of organizations and the economic system while
a longitudinal social experimentation reveals how existential reflexivity
transforms the management social practice toward an existentialist
contribution. The discussion addresses the implication in considering
management as a social practice and it’s potential for radical humanist
transformation.
