Why Marketing Is Too Important to Leave to the Marketers
In many businesses, marketing is a room down the hall. It is the team that creates the perfect logo, runs the advertising, manages the social accounts, and is called in near the end of a project to "package" whatever product the team has already decided to build. Everyone else, from finance to operations, engineering, and the corner office, regards marketing as someone else's responsibility, a specialized function to admire from afar but leave alone. And in many of those same

What AI Actually Changes About Management
There is a new silence in many meetings. A manager asks a question that would once have taken an analyst two days to answer, and a machine returns a fluent, confident, well-formatted, many-response answer in about nine seconds. The chart is drawn. The summary is written. The forecast is produced. For anyone whose authority rested on being the person in the room who had the answer, this is a quietly destabilizing moment, because the answer has just become abundant, and abundan

Why a One-Year MBA Changes the Maths

What Management Actually Asks of You
After you get promoted, there is a particular silence. The announcement is made, the congratulations are received and then the new manager sits down at the same desk with a new title and realizes that no one has told them what the job is. They know more or less what their forerunner did. They sort of know what their manager’s after. What they don’t know, what almost nobody tells them, is that the work they were promoted for is different from the work they are now being paid t

Why Your MBA Cohort Matters Most
Graduates of a serious postgraduate program often say that what surprised them was not a module. It was the people with whom this phenomenon is associated. This phenomenon is such a ubiquitous finding in alumni testimony that it has become a cliché, and clichés tend to be dismissed rather than examined. The assertion is a mistake here, because that claim turns out to be supported by a substantial body of research in sociology, economics, and organizational behavior, and under
