80: Management Theory & Practice Sumantra Ghoshal (Part 1)
b'We discuss a critique of business education -- Sumantra Ghoshal\\u2019s article from the Academy of Management Learning and Education, \\u201cBad Management Theories are Destroying Good Management Practices.\\u201d He describes a feedback loop between schools and practitioners that has led to theories based on a \\u201cpretense of knowledge\\u201d that assumes causality and predictability of the business environment and a \\u201cgloomy vision\\u201d that assumes the worst of human nature. In effect, theories are built around ideas that managers cannot be trusted and matters of complexity can be managed through mathematical models, setting ethics and morals aside. A great think piece for considering the roles of business schools and professional education!'
