Effective management requires integrating five key mind-sets: self, organization, context, relationships, and change. This approach moves beyond traditional business functions to foster synthesis and practical application for managers.

Area of Science:

  • Management Studies
  • Leadership Development
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Traditional MBA programs often compartmentalize management into discrete functions.
  • Practicing managers face complex, often contradictory demands requiring integrated thinking.
  • There is a need for an educational structure that promotes synthesis over separation in management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a master's program for practicing managers that encourages deep integration of managerial concerns.
  • To identify and structure the core tasks and mind-sets essential for effective management.
  • To move beyond functional silos towards a holistic understanding of managerial roles.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel educational structure for practicing managers.
