Abstract

Purpose

To consider the differences between Critical Management Studies (CMS) and political party politics.

Design/methodology/approach

Reading Lenin and Hitler, as well as CMS.

Findings

That they aren’t very similar, and can’t be, unless CMS becomes a disciplined movement.

Practical implications

That academics are not good at getting things done, and perhaps we shouldn’t really be expecting that they should be. What they do outside the academic context is another matter.

Originality/value

That is for others to judge.
