当商业的根本目的是追求利润时,它应该在多大程度上包含服务的含义?我们通过对英国两次世界大战之间的管理思想(1918-1939)进行背景信息的重新评估来探讨这个问题,利用了关于朗特里商业讲座和管理研究小组的丰富的档案材料。尽管现有文献是围绕科学管理与人际关系学派展开的,但我们发现了第三个明显的相关主题:商业即服务。我们的主要贡献是确定企业社会责任的论述起源于英国,打着商业即服务的幌子。我们表明,这比通常认为的更早出现,并从一开始就被注入了作为一种管理控制形式的工具性意图。这是一种不是来自管理理论家,而是来自管理实践者的论述,努力使企业制度建立在可持续的基础上,同时维护现任管理精英的权力、权威和合法性。
To what extent should business have an implication of service when its fundamental purpose is profit-seeking? We explore this issue through a contextually informed reappraisal of British interwar management thinking (1918–1939), drawing on rich archival material concerning the Rowntree business lectures and management research groups. Whereas existing literature is framed around scientific management versus human relations schools, we find a third pronounced, related theme:business as service. Our main contribution is to identify the origins in Britain of the discourse of corporate social responsibility in the guise of business as service. We show that this emerged earlier than commonly assumed and was imbued with an instrumental intent from its inception as a form of management control. This was a discourse emanating not from management theorists but from management practitioners, striving to put the corporate system on a sustainable footing while safeguarding the power, authority, and legitimacy of incumbent managerial elites.
