Abstract

In 2021, the Covid pandemic dominated the news cycle. But the global issue that was gaining traction before Covid struck, sustainability, is not going away. As Covid fades and we seek to redouble our efforts to promote Sustainable Management, one unrecognized obstacle we face in Management Studies is the belief that the focus on sustainability is a new phenomenon: rather than a continuous human concern that was overlooked as Management evolved in the 20th century. As a means of interrogating this belief we propose the ‘counter-historical’ approach of Michel Foucault and outline how we shall apply this to thinking differently about the historical development of Sustainable Management.
