Abstrakt

As we have seen, a representation of sectional interests is portrayed as a universally established hegemonic meaning structure.216 Under self-serving, self-persuasive, and self-diluting statements such as yes, I know it could be called immoral, but that is not an element I can take into account professionally,217 managers of all types are only too willing to pursue the establishment and maintenance of hegemonic meaning structures as long as these deliver knowledge into the hands of power. It appears as if too many of them have moved on from the old management ideology of they do not know what they do to the new ideology of advanced managerialism: they know what they do but they do it anyway.218 The creation of hegemonic meaning structures essentially fosters the ability of one social group to articulate their partial or specific interest in such a way that it appears to be the interest of all groups.
