Structure in Fives: Designing Effective Organizations

Henry Mintzberg

Prentice Hall, 1992

Mintzberg's Linchpin
Mintzberg would have to be one of the most astute writers on business matters I have ever read. Although there are many other fine authors, Mintzberg seems to stand in a class of his own when it comes to discussions of strategy and organisation, and as I am finding ...

Henry Mintzberg

Harpercollins College Div, 1973

Harvard Business Review on Leadership (Harvard Business Review Paperback Series)

Henry Mintzberg, John P. Kotter, ...

Harvard Business School Press, 1998

Enduring insights from multiple perspectives
Much of the contextual material in this volume is out-of-date, given the fact that the eight articles originally appeared in the Harvard Business Review years ago (1975-1998). However, I think the core concepts remain sound and provide a valuable frame-of-reference for ...

Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning

Henry Mintzberg

Free Press, 1994

The Other View
Henry Mintzberg is, as always, the iconoclast. It is well worth reading any book he writes because, invariably, he presents an alternative perspective on how business and how organisations work, generally one which drives from the combined power of both a theoretician ...

Mintzberg on Management

Henry Mintzberg

Free Press, 2007

Coupling Analysis and Intuition
Mintzberg has always been an academic who studies management with a sympathetic and slightly amused view. This 1989 book is really worthwhile having in your biz library to quickly flip through before you run your next strategy session just to remind you of what you ...

Managers Not MBAs: A Hard Look at the Soft Practice of Managing and Management Development

Henry Mintzberg

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2005

The state of the current MBA
I read Professor Mintzberg's book for one main reason: to decide whether or not to do an MBA. Before reading this book and thus the enlightenment, I used to think very highly of the qualification, in an overrated sort of manner. I reckoned that if I'm an MBA ...

In "Crafting Strategy", Mintzberg wrote an incisive article on his views on strategy. He methodically explores the traditional way people view strategy as something planned by the strategist (could be CEO or Strategic Planning department) to be implemented by others. ...
