The movement from the feudal society to the era of the entrepreneur and the subsequent evolution to
managerialism has been well documented over past decades. A discussion of the significance of Mills' (1956)
power elite is used to identify the more recent movement from managerialism to the politicization of corporate
decision making. It is argued that in this new age of corporate politicism, the preparation of potential leaders
should have a focus on broader societal and political viewpoints as opposed to inward-directed management of
organizational behavior.
