Microeconomics for MBAs: The Economic Way of Thinking for Managers

Microeconomics for MBAs: The Economic Way of Thinking for Managers

This is the first textbook in microeconomics written exclusively for MBA students. McKenzie/Lee minimizes attention to mathematics and maximizes attention to intuitive economic thinking. The text is structured clearly and accessibly: Part I of each chapter outlines the basic theory and Part II applies this basic theory to management issues. ‘Perspective’ sections in each chapter provide a new line of argument or different take on a business or policy issue, and carefully chosen topics and review questions are designed to spark lively and instructive debates. The accompanying DVD contains modules of Professor McKenzie talking informally with students, and elucidates complex lines of argument as well as acting as a revision aid. Throughout the book, McKenzie and Lee aim to infuse students with the economic way of thinking in the context of a host of problems that MBA students, as future managers of real-world firms, will find relevant to their career goals.

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.

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

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

Thirty years ago, Mintzberg’s bestseller “The Nature of Managerial Work sought to dispel the myths of the disconnected, overly analytical manager by observing a week in the lives of five chief executives. In a sense, “Managers Not MBAs is the sequel, delving as it does into current practice and the need for developing much better managers. The book examines what is wrong with both management education and management itself, and how both could be changed. Mintzberg explores the concept of management as a practice blending craft (experience) with art (insight) and some science (analysis). Conventional education in this realm, he says, encourages a “calculating” approach by overemphasizing the science, and a “heroic” approach by overstressing the art. Mintzberg argues instead for training balanced, dedicated managers who practice an “engaging” style, believing that their purpose is to leave behind stronger organizations, not just higher share prices.
