Managers Not MBAs: A Hard Look at the Soft Practice of Managing and Management Development

Managers Not MBAs: A Hard Look at the Soft Practice of Managing and Management Development

The trouble with “management” education, says author Henry Mintzberg, is that it is business education, and leaves a distorted impression of management. In Managers Not MBAs, he offers a new definition of management as a blend of craft (experience), art (insight), and science (analysis). An education that overemphasizes science encourages a style of managing the author calls “calculating,” or if the graduates believe themselves to be artists, the related style “heroic.” According to the book, neither heroes nor technocrats in positions of influence are useful – what’s really needed are balanced, dedicated people who practice a style that can be called “engaging.” Such people believe their purpose is to leave behind stronger organizations, not just higher share prices. Managers Not MBAs explains in detail how to cultivate such managers, and how they can transform the business world and, ultimately, society.

Business Process Management (BPM): The Third Wave

This book heralds a breakthrough that redefines competitive advantage for the next fifty years. Don’t bridge the business-IT divide: Obliterate it! The book is the first authoritative analysis of how third-wave business process management (BPM) changes everything in business and what it portends. While the vision of process management is not new, existing theories and systems have not been able to cope with the reality of business processes –until now. This book describes a radical, simplifying shift in process thinking and technology that utterly transforms today’s information systems and reduces the lag between management intent and execution.

A process-managed enterprise makes agile course corrections, embeds Six Sigma quality and reduces cumulative costs across the value chain. It pursues strategic initiatives with confidence, including mergers, consolidation, alliances, acquisitions, outsourcing and global expansion. Process management is the only way to achieve these objectives with transparency, management control and accountability. The process-managed enterprise grasps control of business processes and communicates with a universal process language that enables partners to execute on shared vision –to understand each other’s operations in detail, jointly design processes and manage the entire lifecycle of their business improvement initiatives.

Process management is not another form of automation, a new killer-app or a fashionable new management theory. With the third-wave BPM breakthrough and its solid mathematical underpinnings, business processes can now be unhindered by the constraints of existing IT systems. Short on stories and long on insight and practical information, this book will help your business become the company of the future, the real-time enterprise, the fully digitized corporation –the process-managed enterprise. The book also offers continually updated information and a dialog with the authors at its Web site.

From the supplier: Business schools must evolve in response to the changes in the marketplace. The skills and abilities of business graduates cannot remain the same over the years in view of the rapidly changing nature of the business environment. A growing number of business school are recognizing these shifts and are redesigning their curricula to integrate emerging business issues. Schools are establishing partnerships with companies, giving rise to guest lecturer programs, cooperative research and joint projects. In some institutions, MBA programs are focusing less on the development of analytical skills and more on the enhancement of communication skills. At Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, for instance, programs such as ‘Individual Effectiveness’ are being implemented to produce MBA graduates who possess good interpersonal skills, business communication acumen, individual goals and career direction.
