<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Combining hands-on experience with contemporary fads in efficiency improvement, empowerment, and strategy, Stewart lays bare how little consultants have really done for the business of others--while making a killing for themselves.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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.</p><p>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. <em>The Management Myth</em> 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Praise for The Management Myth "At last, a book that knocks the Kings of Consulting off their thrones.
