"Management ideas such as Balanced ScoreCard (BSC), Core Competences, Lean Management, Total Quality Management (TQM), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Big Data, and Agile have received widespread interest from management practitioners and academics alike (Sturdy et al., 2019). This interest may be related to the expansion of management as an ideology and practice in contemporary society, and the important role of a range of traditional management intellectuals (Guillén, 1994) or knowledge entrepreneurs (Clark, 2004a) - which include management gurus, management consultants, business schools and mass media organizations (Abrahamson, 1996; Engwall et al., 2016; Kieser, 1997; Piazza and Abrahamson, 2020; Sahlin-Andersson and Engwall, 2002)"--
