Abstract:

Business schools championing ethics in corporate world

Following a number of episodes that exposed the ethical dubiousness of certain business practices, including the housing crash of 2008, some have wondered whether business school education is partly to blame.

However, a survey of some of today鈥檚 business programs shows a step in the right direction, with corporate social responsibility taking front and center in the curriculum.

Business schools in the wake of technological revolution

In response to Desautels Professor Henry Mintzberg鈥檚 oft-quoted assertion that that no direct link exists between leadership education and business success, an article for HR Magazine argues that business schools can indeed prepare the leaders of tomorrow to thrive in the wake of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Workplace communities for better business

In an article that explores the importance of building a community in the workplace, the author cites Desautels professor Henry Mintzberg鈥檚 conception of 鈥渃ommunityship鈥�, a distributed form of management that engages and unites employees across levels.

For the author, building workplace communities where individuals care about one another on a human level will reap larger benefits for businesses in the long-term.听

When 鈥淢ORE鈥� becomes too much

In a recent blog post, Desautels professor Henry Mintzberg issues a call for society to disavow its quest for 鈥淢ORE鈥�, which is destroying our businesses, communities, and planet, to refocus on improvement, or the 鈥渂etter鈥�, as he puts it.

For Mintzberg, today鈥檚 enterprises have lost sight of what is right in favor of excess and greed, but there are many ways in which businesses can transition to operate and thrive responsibly.听

To lead is to manage; to manage is to lead

A piece for The Star Kenya tackles the age-old question of whether managers can also be leaders and cites Desautels professor Henry Mintzberg鈥檚 view that the two are not mutually exclusive.

Indeed, for Mintzberg, 鈥渕anagement without leadership is sterile; leadership without management is disconnected and encourages hubris.鈥�

How management can function amid unpredictability

In an article that explores how managers can adapt under circumstances that defy predictability or norms, the author cites Professor Henry Mintzberg鈥檚 discussion of Honda鈥檚 entrance into the North American market as an example of unpredictability in business.

Indeed, Honda鈥檚 success in North America was a phenomenon that resulted from forces that could not be ascertained or mastered a priori.

Moving away from sports analogies in business

A piece for Forbes.com argues that good management is not akin to a competitive sport, and that managing a company as if it were can yield disastrous results. The sports analogy often used in business promotes the extreme use of resources to create rapid growth, which seems to invariably lead to collapse.

Peter High on strategy, adaptation and integrative thinking

In a piece for Forbes.com, Peter High, President of听Metis Strategy, cites Professor Henry Mintzberg to assert that societal change has always been perceived as occurring at lightning speed, and that it is common tendency to believe that the present is different from the past, as it is unresolved by nature.
