This paper considers whether lecturers delivering Business Higher Education Programmes (BHEPs) in Further Education Colleges (FECs) in the UK see education to be a production industry, or a knowledge industry. It will consider the effects of managerialism and marketisation that the UK government (and others around the world), are applying to the education sector, and their possible effects. The study considers the narratives of twenty-six lecturers delivering BHEPs in FECs in relation to government intervention, and the impacts it may be having on their role as a lecturer. The research highlights that there may be a great deal of frustration and angst amongst these lecturers, and from this, suggests that colleges may be behaving more like production factories, rather than institutions of further and higher education.

“…While I see some merit in this line of argument -the critique of managerialist/neoliberal discourses -and have myself done this in the past (see Eacott, 2011aEacott, , 2011bEacott, , 2011c, in this book I am providing a more productive way of researching school leadership. This is not to suggest anything inappropriate, just that it is impossible to provide further commentary on these instruments.…”

“…This establishes, and sustains, a particular relationship between the concept of "leadership" and the empirical space in which practice takes place, one where the location of practice in both time and space is 93 "Leadership" and the social acknowledged, yet under-theorised. With the expansion of what Gunter (1997) originally labelled the "educational management industry", which could now be more appropriately categorised as the educational leadership industry, and the proliferation of school leadership preparation and development programmes outside of the academy (see Eacott, 2011), there is now, more than ever, a need to engage with the knowledge claims of "leadership" in the educational administration discourse.…”
