This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of critical management education (CME), an alternative to mainstream management education attempting to move away from technocratic approaches towards more critical and morally responsible actions. Expert authors reflect on the opportunities and challenges presented by this move, to suggest innovative strategies for management educators across the globe.

Combining insights from original CME advocates with those of emerging experts in the field, this Research Handbook explores the roots and philosophies of the approach alongside its implications and criticisms. Educators from the Global North and South reflect on their experiences of implementing CME, discussing methods for decolonising the curriculum, facilitating learning communities and tackling institutional issues. Chapters cover novel approaches to subjects including accounting, business, and technological innovation, ultimately emphasising the transformative impact of responsible management practice on social injustices and global challenges.

The Research Handbook of Critical Management Education is an invaluable resource for scholars and students in management education and critical management studies. Management educators in any discipline will also benefit greatly from its practical focus and in-depth analysis of CME applications.

‘Faced with organic crisis and given the outsized influence of B-schools, globally, it is now more important than ever to map and interrogate the topography of critical management education. In this timely, thoughtful and provocative volume, contributors record and reflect on their journeys into and with critical management education — read and agitate!’
