Chapter 7 in The Language of Managerialism, 2023, pp 191-222 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The language of Managerialism supports Managerialism’s vision as the saviour from unwarranted business insecurities, and the constant proneness of corporate capitalism to a crisis. This might well be the innermost meaning and the deepest yearning articulated by Managerialism. Long before the language of Managerialism entered the public sphere, the term ‘Managerialism’ was first used by managers as a byword to simple management. From that, the language of Managerialism radiated outwards. It kept returning to the same verse and the same formula: Managerialism = Management plus Expansion plus Ideology: MA = MEI. It is this formula that drives the language of Managerialism (MA) by occasionally harking back to simple management (M) while combining it with ideology (I) and the drive for expansions (E) far beyond management and business organisations.
