Henry

The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning is a history of strategic planning that reviews the pitfalls of planning, showing how it can destroy commitment, discourage change, and breed a political atmosphere, while also arguing that managers must rethink the planning process. One of our most brilliant and original management thinkers, Mintzberg concludes that the term is an oxymoron - that strategy cannot be planned because planning is about analysis and strategy is about synthesis.
