What I Have Against M.b.a.s Is The Assumption That You Come Out Of A Two-year Program Probably Never Having Been A Manager - At Least For Full-time Younger People M.b.a. Programs - And Assume You Are Ready To Manage.

No Job Is More Vital To Our Society Than That Of The Manager. It Is The Manager Who Determines Whether Our Social Institutions Serve Us Well Or Whether They Squander Our Talents And Resources.

Everyone Is Against Micro Managing But Macro Managing Means You're Working At The Big Picture But Don't Know The Details.

No Generalizing Beyond The Data, No Theory. No Theory, No Insight. And If No Insight, Why Do Research.

Basically, Managing Is About Influencing Action. Managing Is About Helping Organizations And Units To Get Things Done, Which Means Action. Sometimes, Managers Manage Actions Directly. They Fight Fires. They Manage Projects. They Negotiate Contracts.
