You can even do a google search on it."<br /><br />I this kind of thinking is driven by too many years of seat-time in educational institutions. Learn some rules, treat them thereafter as articles of faith, and apply them rigorously without benefit of judgment or context.<br /><br />Henry Mintzberg of McGill University noted that "MBA programs tend to attract pragmatic people in a hurry: they want the means to leap past others with experience. Techniques--so-called tools--seem to offer that, so this is what many such students demand, and what many of the courses offer; whether portfolio models for financial resources, competitive analyses for strategic resources, or empowerment techniques for human resources...Technique aplied with nuance by people immersed in a situation can be very powerful. But technique taught generically, out of context, encourages that "rule of the tool": Give a little boy a hammer and everything looks like a nail. MBA programs have given their graduates so many hammers that many organizations now look like smashed-up beds of nails."<br /><br />I'd better that this investment banker uses the same approach ("methodism," Clausewitz called it, and he wasn't talking about the religion) in business that he tries to use in dating.David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-13323337558572543482011-12-08T11:03:27.901-08:002011-12-08T11:03:27.901-08:00The sins of the mother are always visited upon the...The sins of the mother are always visited upon their daughters.
