the managerialism critique can be thought of as a package of ideas, beliefs, and values based on the premise that managers and managerial functions are essential ingredients of today's organizations.simon(1957),following the line of reasoning of barnard(1938),declared that managerial decision-making is the very heart of organization and administration,but manager have to be conceived as individuals that take decision. this critique gave rise to the HIP approach in the late 1960's where emphasis is put on the decision-making process of individual managers.
