Chapter Chapter 4 in Stories and Organization in the Anthropocene, 2021, pp 51-74 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter offers a series of provocations around the following question: if Business Schools are observably co-opting and seeking to profiteer off of the anthropocene, then what can a critical management scholar possibly teach in order to bring about meaningful social or political change? It weaves together stories about the father of the modern shopping centre, Victor Gruen, with nihilistic accelerationist speculation around different pedagogic strategies for making a difference in the anthropocene in order to critically reflect on the potential futures available to critical management studies.
