OT: Sumantra Ghoshal |
The heart of the business
http://www.economist.com/books/displayStory.cfm?story_id=3D4055090
Jun 9th 2005
From The Economist print edition
LIKE Douglas McGregor, the inventor of Theory X and Y, Sumantra Ghoshal
was a business academic whose reputation grew rapidly after his early
death. McGregor taught at Harvard and MIT and died in 1964 at the age
of 58; Ghoshal taught at INSEAD and the London Business School and died
in 2004 at the age of 55. The parallel does not stop there. Both men's
work was firmly based on positive views of Homo economicus. McGregor
identified a lasting dichotomy between management styles: Theory X, an
authoritarian way, which assumes that workers are natural shirkers; and
Theory Y, in which self-motivating individuals work their butts off in
pursuit of objectives to which they have become fully committed. He
urged companies to adopt Theory Y.
