In this paper I contest the conviction that the sciences derive from the desire to know. I argue that the sciences, especially management sciences, are born and developed within certain relations of power. Thereby these sciences foster those networks of power from which they originate. The sciences are not open to aims external to their birth and growth. They are not adaptable and stretchable to the extent that they may serve external aims. My argument proceeds as follows. In the first part I argue that knowledge and power imply each other. In doing so I contest the claim that knowledge derives from a pure desire to know. In the second part I would explore the nature of the power providing foundation to management sciences. In the third I argue that from a certain representation of power management sciences arise. In the final part of my argument I will conclude that management sciences produce truths and discourses that may not be stretched to serve the aims that run parallel to them.
