By management philosophy Hans Ulrich understands the fundamental attitudes, convictions, value conceptions, which affect a thinking and an acting of the relevant high-level personnel in an enterprise.

The term management philosophy is rather ironically used in the science. Since the 1980er years is a rapidly growing market of management councellor literature developed, in which world-wide millions of books are sold annually, which treat the essentially following question: "Which is in organizations to do, if"Â…". Management philosophy reciprocates thereby between Scharlatanerie and practical philosophy as remedy for of organizations.

Critical analyses see five problem fields:

1. Management philosophy prevents the Professionalisierung of the management, since it is old wine in new hoses;
2. Management philosophy produces only hot air, it is trivially, short-lived and mode-oriented;
3. Management philosophy is above all a lucrative business and dubious as such;
4. Management philosophy contradicts itself constantly and represents thus a death pill of the logic;
5. Management philosophy dereguliere structures of the work company grown historically with their sometimes radical concepts.

From view of a post office-classical management understanding however (if decisions no more after a true/a wrong code to be decided cannot) will it for the task of a management philosophy injunktiv put on again and again to set new constructions to the place of the Unentscheidbarkeit (webers 2005). To produce and communicate the key word inclination of many management philosophers also understood as "a kind of the terms" (Bolz), with which it concerns to consolidate management trends symbolically.
