      ab: American managerial ideology may have emerged in a different manner than originally believed. Historical data suggest that since the 1870s, American managerial discourse has been elaborated in surges that have alternated between normative and rational rhetorics. Standard theories of ideological change are inadequate for explaining either the general pattern or the timing of the surges. An analysis of studies of managerial ideology indicates that there is a tendency for innovative surges of managerial theorizing to alternate between rational and normative rhetorics of control rooted in cultural antinomies fundamental to all Western industrial societies. The timing of each new wave parallels broad cycles of economic expansion and contraction.
