Horkheimer treated the Institute’s business-friendly turn as temporary camouflage for critical theory.

Evidence

At this period, in which he was on the one hand appearing as a Critical Theorist and on the other trying to make the Institute’s work palatable to business and administrative circles, Horkheimer may have thought that during the setting up of the new Institute this was still a good form of camouflage but that, one day, there would be no need to take it seriously. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 458
