Indigenous ideas, prevalent from ancient times ((Burm and Burleigh, 2017; Genova, 2015; Huaman and Abeita, 2018; Tran and Kennett, 2017; WIPO, 2019), are not typical of today’s management theories, which have recently been shown to be ideologically restricted to ideas about efficiency, profit maximization, and managerialism (McLaren, 2020)—to the exclusion of other important values. In contrast, we argue—and demonstrate through global examples—that numerous Indigenous cultures have developed successful, long-lived societies (and, but not just, economies) based on a different, holistic and relationally-based set of values.…”
