Abstract
In this article, the authors discuss the relevance of critical theory for management education. They begin by distinguishing critical theory from critical thinking and then highlight the main features of critical theory: social construction, power and ideology, totality, and praxis. The article then introduces the remaining articles that constitute the special segment on critical theory and management education.Keywords
