Summary of The Witch Doctors (John Micklethwait & Adrian Wooldridge)
Part 1: The Management Theory Industry
Part 2: Great Management Theory Debates
Part 3: The Future of Management Theory
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Management theory has, in recent years, gone into overdrive and now is a strong growth industry. Today’s new business theories are more rapidly and enthusiastically applied than their predecessors – mainly because there is a greater acceptance and awareness of management theory.
Yet, for all its success, management theory is still at an early stage of development. It is still too personality and marketing driven. Entry into the management theory industry is still largely unrestricted – accordingly, the industry tends to attract those who have little in the way of formal qualifications but who come from strong marketing backgrounds. The management theory industry is also entirely incapable of self-criticism and rational debate. Therefore, contradictions flourish in the absence of established industry guidelines, such as those which exist in all other academic disciplines.
Therefore, never take a new business management idea at face value or accept it as being infallible. Rather, look on management theories as suggestions that must be shaped and molded in light of your now experience and business judgment. You still will make some mistakes, but at least that way you’ll be minimizing the risks and maximizing the opportunities for realizing the benefits.
