Chapter 1 argued that management should be regarded as ideological and argued that ideologies of management, which express the sectional interests of key management groupings, should be viewed as having roots in ideologies of work.

Management as elite; management as ideology Anthony (1977) argues that management is ideological. Management’s activities and the authority management claims for its activities are ideological insofar as they exist to legitimize and to promote particular attitudes towards work. He argues too, that ideologies of management grow up to reflect and to bolster the prerogatives which management claim as their right. Ideologies of management, Anthony tells us, reflect and build upon more generalized ideologies of work which in the wider society (the society we return to after work and in which we played and were schooled in prior to work), promote particular orientations to work.
