Description

Traditionally, the fundamentals of management teaching have been aligned with the belief that conventional management theories were separate and apart from the institution of chattel slavery and the management of race (Aufhauser, 1973; Blackmon, 2008; Cooke, 2003; Roediger & Esch, 2012). As a contribution to the academy, this workshop will present a qualitative study that examined the exclusion of chattel slavery in the teaching of the history of American business (Baptist, 2014; Katznelson, 2005). Faculty are encouraged to enhance their research knowledge to include the true origins of business and management concepts, providing a throughline to current management practices that include harassment, coercion, and even brutality as part of a routine management dictum. Future faculty will gain the requisite tools to acknowledge that the origin of management tenets is historically connected to the practice of chattel slavery (Aufhauser, 1973; Cooke, 2003).
