	Henry Mintzberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Professor Mintzberg writes prolifically on the topics of management and business strategy, with more than 140 articles and thirteen books to his name.
		Ironically, although Professor Mintzberg is quite critical about the strategy consulting business, he has twice won the McKinsey Award for publishing the best article in the Harvard Business Review.

	Guru: Henry Mintzberg \| redworld.biz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Henry Mintzberg is a modest man who totally resists the temptation of trying to tell managers what to do from his ivory tower.
		Henry’s mistake was that he chose to be born north of the American border, Americans don’t take Canadians seriously alas and so Henry would be the guru of gurus – not me – not Porter – not Peter Drucker.
		Henry is arguably one of the most two or three or one truly profound management thinkers of the last 30 – 40 – 50 years.

	'You Can't Create a Leader in a Classroom.'
		Mintzberg has shown that management itself is as much a Jackson Pollock painting as it is a quantifiable science.
		Indeed, these days, Mintzberg is in hot pursuit of a personal goal that he wrote down on a scrap of paper almost two years ago and then locked away in a vault at a bank in Montreal.
		Mintzberg concedes that the U.S. style of management education is in demand around the world -- but mainly, he says, for the big bucks that such a degree confers upon its holder.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Mintzberg devotes a substantial section to the new role of planning, plans and planners, not inside the strategy-making process, but around it, in support of it, providing some of its inputs and sometimes programming its outputs, as well as encouraging strategic thinking in general.
		Henry Mintzberg is definitely the best author around when one seeks to enlighten him or herself about the mysteries of strategic management.
		Mintzberg is a down-to-earth analyst of his discipline and instead of providing his readers with the one golden formula of directing a business towards success, which does not exist, he delivers a balanced discussion of how SM can help and how it can mislead executive managers and their likes.

	From Strategic Planning to Strategic Thinking
		Mintzberg's argument is as follows: strategic planning is about analysis (i.e., breaking down a goal into steps, designing how the steps may be implemented, and estimating the anticipated consequences of each step).
		Mintzberg argues, and Wilson would probably agree, that predicting seasons of the year is simple, but predicting discontinuities, such as a technological innovation, is difficult, if not impossible.
		Mintzberg cites Arie de Geus (1988), onetime head of planning at Royal Dutch Shell, in a classic article titled "Planning as Learning," as arguing that the real purpose of planning is to change the mental models that decision makers carry in their heads.

		Henry Mintzberg recognizes the existence of ambiguity and he, himself, is a series of paradoxes: His ideas were once so radical that he was considered the enfant terrible of the academic world of management studies, but now he has star-billing at international conferences.
		Chancellor, you will be glad to know that Henry Mintzberg is the new order of Canadian academic, defining the boundaries of his discipline, and also crossing the boundaries.
		On the one hand, he is the consummate academic, a leader in his chosen field of study and on the other he has not lost sight of his humanity, of the reality and the value of the random and the inconsistent in human institutions.
