is the most down to earth professor I ever read across. His concepts are very real, and he is quite blunt with the truth, and I like how he brings across the most realistic things and fans out those hard wired theorists.
I like this quote:
“I have come to suspect that Harvard’s great success may be business’s great failure. In other words, the real danger of the design school may be in providing a seductive model whose superficial “rationality” in the classroom can so easily get promoted into the executive suite.”
“Maybe that is all too true: in formulating detached, easy strategies in case study discussions, later in executive meetings, which are not meant to be implemented, and later cannot be, and in giving all those “whiz kids” a head start down the “fast track.” They can certainly tell a “probable ‘non-starter” from a “winner,”.
Mintzberg, Henry (1996)
Too bad I can’t put that in my assignment, haha.
He makes me think that business school is crappy make believe institution that can emulate what happens in the real world, when in fact it is not! I am glad he invented the term emergent strategies that are not foreseeable in the uncertain future. I don’t think much of what I have learnt in school applies to what I do in my business anyway…

“Hi, i am a sado mascohist and you are?”
“I am gay, i live with my boyfriend.
I wonder when will we have a conversation on the streets in this manner in near future. In fact i have no idea why do people conceal their sexuality, it is something to be proud of. If you have no sexuality it means you are going to be wiped out from the face of earth very soon. In fact, sex transmutation is the underlying secret to success (get your copy of Think And Grow Rich if you haven’t).
There should not be prejudice against people having their alternative lifestyles. Simply put – not everyone is born vanilla (normal). There are all sorts of people out there with their own kinks and secret fetishes and it is part of human nature, not a abomination of sorts. In fact, almost everyone of us has a kink, it depends on how far we are willing to explore the darker side to it. Just that, the bunch of people who are courageous to look deep into their sexuality and be proud of it are alienated from the rest of the vanilla folk.
Our media is filled with so much s e x that it is hard to avoid it. Just go to the “Guy Magazines” section of any retail outlet and you will be able to see tons of babes clad in lingerie or bikini. Even kids are getting sex education. So what is the big deal about sex? There is nothing to hide really, everyone does it. Those tabloids digging out on Paris Hilton and Edision Chen sex scandal are just so overrated. They are humans too! So what they are naked? They are still humans.
When civilization has evolved to a stage whereby there is no discrimination based on race, sex or ethnicity, there will be no sexual prejudice either. Everyone will be free to practice any sexual orientation they have.. straight, bisexual or gay. It will not effect the way people perceive them as they are still – human.
The Yawning Bread is a good read for anyone who would like to understand about gays. After all, 5% of all guys have gay tendencies while 10% of all females have lesbian tendencies too.
Although sexual liberation might not happen before we say goodbye to the world, I still feel that the human civilization is still in its immature stage that is why stupidity strives in our society.
