| Sumario: | This work analyzes the way managers of transnational companies in Argentina use and conceive their time. We will focus, on one hand, on the theoretic debate of the notion of time from different perspectives (anthropology, sociology and history of everyday life), comparing it with primary and secondary sources of those companies. The objective of this research relies upon finding general tendencies in the notion and use of time among high level executives and middle line managers in the current capitalism. The everyday practices of this people remain, in some way, subordinated or subsumed to the corporate interests. Therefore, the idea of temporality is shaped by the notion of urgency (of adding value to time). |
