HENRY
MINTZBERG
 Henry Mintzberg is
Cleghorn Professor of Management Studies at McGill University in Montreal and professor of
organization at INSEAD in France.
Well known for his studies of strategic development
and of managerial practice, Mintzberg is author or coauthor of seven books including The
Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning and, most recently, Strategy Safari. (3/99).
He has been an academic most of his working life (after a
stint in Operational Research at the Canadian National Railways). Currently he is Cleghorn
Professor of Management Studies at McGill University in Montreal, where he has been since
graduating with a doctorate from MIT in 1968. (His undergraduate degree is from McGill in
Mechanical Engineering.)
He devotes himself largely to his writing and research,
over the years especially about managerial work, strategy formation, and forms of
organizing. He recently completed a book called Managers not MBAs, and is preparing a
short political pamphlet called "Getting Past Smith and Marx: Toward a Balanced
Society."
He has worked for much of the past ten years or so, in
collaboration with colleagues from Canada, England, France, India, and Japan, to develop
new approaches to management education. The International Masters in Practicing Management
has been running for eight years, and are launching the Advanced Leadership Program, and
the International Masters in Health Leadership, all rather novel ways to help managers
learn from their own experience. He teaches in these programs and supervise doctoral
students.
In recent years, he has shifted a bit toward more general
writing. He has done some newspaper articles, and likes to write short stories.
In all, he has published about 130 articles about 10
books. Honors have included election as an Officer of the Order of Canada, and of l'Ordre
national du Quebec, and selection as Distinguished Scholar for the year 2000 by the
Academy of Management.
