The Management Myth: Debunking Modern Business Philosophy

The Management Myth: Debunking Modern Business Philosophy

"A devastating bombardment of managerial thinking and the profession of management consultingâ€¦A serious and valuable polemic." â€•Wall Street Journal
Fresh from Oxford with a degree in philosophy and no particular interest in business, Matthew Stewart might not have seemed a likely candidate to become a consultant. But soon he was telling veteran managers how to run their companies.
In narrating his own ill-fated (and often hilarious) odyssey at a top-tier firm, Stewart turns the consultantâ€™s merciless, penetrating eye on the management industry itself. The Management Myth offers an insightful romp through the entire history of thinking about management, a withering critique of pseudoscience in management theory, and a clear explanation of why the MBA usually amounts to so much BSâ€•leading us through the wilderness of American business thought.
