Abstract
The study follows the theoretical background of socialist corporate management, namely the theory of management permanently present in Czechoslovakia since the late 1950s. The authors show how this socialist-corporatist managerism became part of the authoritarian turn of the early consolidation régime in the 1970s and how, in the 1980s, it reacted relatively early to perestroika impulses by restoring hierarchically understood management image as well as so-called socialist entrepreneurship.
Finally, they outline the situation of management theory after 1989, its efforts to catch up with a conceptual and analytical "delay" over the West, and its subsequent dissolution in a massive influx of Western managerialism.
