Abstract

A key element of Foucault’s counter-histories is their explicit stance against conventional histories as a means for creating space for thinking otherwise about the past, and subsequently thinking differently in the present and for the future. This chapter outlines the conventional understanding of Sustainable Management’s development as it is represented in Management textbooks. This history presents Sustainable Management as a new addition to the Management cannon. A breakthrough that has shallow roots and is hard to know how to treat because, unlike Management in general—which is understood as having economic efficiency as its fundamental good—Sustainable Management is about quite different beliefs, aims and goods.
