The Study of Social Issues in Management: A Critical Appraisal
Vogel, David J.
28/2  (Winter 1986): 142-151

This article offers a two-part criticism of the current state of research and teaching in business-and-society courses and programs. The first section argues that the social and political issues that originally gave rise to the study of business and society fifteen years ago have lost much of their relevance to the practice of management. The second section suggests that the field's treatment of social and ethical issues has been distorted by the political biases and ideological assumptions of its leading scholars.
