Fresh from Oxford with a degree in philosophy and no particular
interest in business, Matthew Stewart might not have seemed a
likely candidate to become a consultant. But soon he was telling
veteran managers how to run their companies. In narrating his own
ill-fated (and often hilarious) odyssey at a top-tier firm, Stewart
turns the consultant s merciless, penetrating eye on the management
industry itself. The Management Myth offers an insightful romp
through the entire history of thinking about management, a
withering critique of pseudoscience in management theory, and a
clear explanation of why the MBA usually amounts to so much BS
leading us through the wilderness of American business thought."
