Acerca de Management Under The Microscope

The corporate world is full of platitudes about management and leadership. From “culture eats strategy for breakfast” to “successful entrepreneurs are risk-takers” -- these ideas form a kind of accepted wisdom about how things are done. In this original series from the IMD business school, Professor Michael Wade challenges that. With the help of some of the world’s leading academics and executives, he takes a closer look at six of these accepted truths, revealing powerful new ideas that could change the way you think about business. New episodes every Thursday, from March 18th.
