In this paper, we examine the design of a module whose principle is the explicit analysis of management and business through the prism of the question of limits and finitude as the basis of decision-making. Entitled Business and Management in the Twenty-First Century: Central Questions of Economy, Ecology and Ethics, it has been taught since 2009 as compulsory for the final year of a degree in Business Management. The core themes – economy, ecology and ethics – lend themselves to analysis from the perspective of limits, as well as representing key critical questions for business and management today. Each theme enables students to reflect upon the nature of finitude as a critical device by showing how finitude is constitutive of the true nature of the managerial profession. Contrary to popular promises of endless possibilities, we ask if the limits of cultural, natural, and ethical lives can be overcome through managerialist interventions? Or is there a danger when management and business fail to account for, and address, finitude and limits? The character of finitude as a dimension of existence becomes a fertile source for thinking about the managerial profession from different angles because it reveals how the management profession itself operates.
