The management myth (2006)
For the last 4 years I have worked for the first time in my career as employee of a big corporation. The &quot;managing class&quot; of MBAs reminds me of the way a communist state like East Germany was run. Centralized decision making, information withholding, the desire to plan out everything for years, saying one thing while meaning the opposite, hanging up motivational posters &quot;we are innovative&quot; while squashing innovation, ignoring of inconvenient facts and so on. All that comes with the appearance of &quot;management science&quot; and its own insider language.
