If CEOS, consultants, top managers, and other financial wizards are so smart, how come they screw up so badly? Why is there no correlation whatsoever between a business school education and success in business? Why might you be better off studying something as irrelevant as-philosophy? In The Management Myth, Stewart offers: An insightful romp through the entire history of thinking about management, with memorable sketches of Frederick Winslow Taylor, Elton Mayo, Peter Drucker, Michael Porter, Tom Peters, and other management celebrities A devastating critique of pseudoscience in management theory, from the scientific management movement to the contemporary disciplines of strategy and organizational behavior A swashbuckling account of the rise and much-anticipated fall of management consulting, laced with personal tales about cryptic PowerPoint presentations; the bait-and-hold techniques that keep clients paying to be told what they already know; and the colorful internal politics at his own ill-fated consulting firm, where rivals for power found imaginative uses for an in-house shrink Historical perspective on why so many CEOs make so much more than they deserve A clear explanation of why the MBA usually amounts to so much BS With wit and wisdom, Stewart makes an electrifying case that the questions and insights of management theorists belong not to the sciences but to philosophy, and that, in the final analysis, "a good manager is nothing more or less than a good and well-educated person."

管理咨询的神话
马修·斯图尔德
拥有多重身份、不按常理出牌的聪明人。
思维缜密,曾经是研究19世纪德国哲学的一名牛津博士。
跨界发展,曾经是有700名员工的咨询公司的合伙人。
永不安分,现在是作家,正破天荒地通过Twitter连载一部48万字的小说。
如果作者最后没有遭公司解雇,而是顺利成为公司合伙人,拿到他应得的分红最后光荣退休再出书,可能今天看到的就是歌颂咨询业的神话了;在咨询业跟管理科学泛滥的今天,作者道出了现今咨询业跟管理科学的一些软肋,含沙射影出一些失败的咨询案例,但他所阐述的并不能涵盖整个咨...
评分第一次读这本书,感觉是一本神作,对于管理咨询这个行当做了一个科普性的谎言戳破。 再次读这本书,理性看下来,发现这本书只是指出问题,给了抱怨,没有太多建设性的意见,不过还是一本好书。 整本书如同电影一样,两线主线并行,作为一个咨询行业的从业者,作者对于管理咨询...
评分看了豆瓣上的推荐,就读了这本书。总体感觉不错,内容很好。 只是不知道是翻译还是什么原因,感觉这本书的以文学的方式向我们展现了管理学的奥秘,只是有些文字还是有点晦涩。不过书中的很多问题都很有启发。 另外有一点不明白,大家都说这本书在还原一个真实的管理世界,说...
评分其实在学组织行为学以及管理学概论这样的课程的时候就有一种感觉,到底这多如牛毛的XX理论,为什么是正确的,谁能证明?当管理学越来越像是包裹了彩色外衣的统计学,博弈论,这样的困惑越发强烈了。管理学难到就如书中对咨询工作的定义所言“用委托人想象不出的数据来做事的一...
评分成为一部畅销书的必要条件是要会讲故事,马修把自己从哲学博士对“管理”一窍不通到成为一家颇具规模的咨询公司,然后被扫地出门后的博弈描绘的栩栩如生,作为一个职场小说,读起来也颇有趣味。 自然,这不是一部畅销的小说,而是被列为商业智慧的商业读物,自然,作者有自己...
反洗脑也是一种反向洗脑
评分The philosophy-turned and consulting-battered author made me envious by advancing such an iconoclastic cross-genre, skillfully conflating a history of management thoughts, critics on the consulting industry and flat-out satire. The headless suit-wearer serves as a reminder, at least for me, that we management thinkers tend to draw anything from the thin air.
