Dr Henry Mintzberg, Management Guru and Author of ‘Managers not MBAs’
Dr Henry Mintzberg is a widely acclaimed Management Guru and author of best seller on MBA Education ‘Managers not MBA’. In the book Dr Mintzberg asserted that conventional MBA classrooms overemphasize the science of management while ignoring its art and denigrating its craft, leaves a distorted impression of its practice.
Dr Mintzberg is the author of more than 150 articles and fifteen books including his seminal book, The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning. Dr Mintzberg has twice won the McKinsey Award for publishing the best article in the Harvard Business Review despite his critical stance about the strategy consulting business.
Dr Mintzberg is currently the Cleghorn Professor of Management Studies at the Desautels Faculty of Management of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He has been teaching at the university since 1968. Dr Mintzberg runs two programs which have been designed to teach his alternative approach to management and strategic planning – the International Masters in Practicing Management (IMPM) and the International Masters for Health Leadership (IMHL).
Dr Mintzberg published the book Managers Not MBAs in 2004. The book is about what is wrong with management education and shares that the prestigious graduate management schools like Harvard, Wharton are obsessed with numbers and that their overzealous attempts to make management a science are damaging the discipline of management. Dr Mintzberg advocates more emphasis on post graduate programs that educate practicing managers rather than students with little real world experience, by relying upon action learning and insights from their own problems and experiences.
