This paper attempts to examine and critique ‘Managerial Philosophy’ in terms of its de-humanizing and anti-civilizational dimensions. The Managerial Philosophy, as is well known, has originated in the twentieth century to sustain and legitimize capitalism. Its innumerable concepts and theories were directed towards the promotion of self-seeking and cost-benefit-oriented business organizations and enterprises. This enabled business organizations and enterprises to acquire social sanctity and unchecked freedom for pursuing their self-seeking objectives fearlessly, bereft of values and concerns. Consequently, the underlying value structure of managerial philosophy made degradation of nature, exploitation of human resources, erosion of moral universe, and disappearance of communitarian ties and emotional inter-dependence appear normal. Therefore, capitalism in the twentieth century has been the single most important cause for misery and violence.

During the twenty-first century things do not appear to be different, instead they have become acute. The managerial philosophy, which, faithfully served capitalism in the twentieth century, is in the active service of post-capitalism in terms its propaganda for globalism. Needless to say that globalism, a new found theory of managerial philosophy, is equally antithetical to nature and human civilization. To sustain global capitalism, the managerial philosophy raucously campaigning ideas like ‘best business practice,’ ‘business ethics,’ ‘corporate governance,’ ‘strategic philanthropy,’ etc. The net result of all these is the creation of a mesmerizing and make-believe world to pursue unabashed self-interest. This in turn has lead to unabated exploitation of natural and human resources and large scale de-humanization and marginalization of mankind. Therefore, this paper wishes to establish that what we are practicing today in the name of globalism, ably supported by well-oiled managerial philosophy, is naked social Darwinism.
