Unitarismus im Managementstudium: Unitarismus ist eine auf Anliegen von Führungskräften konzentrierte Sichtweise von Beschäftigungsproblemen, die insbesondere im Managementstudium verbreitet ist. Wir untersuchen, wie Hochschullehrende und Studierende zu Unitarismus stehen und welche Möglichkeiten es gibt, um auch Platz für andere Sichtweisen auf Beschäftigungsprobleme zu schaffen.
