Giving disruption a new face

Henry Mintzberg
Published: 2 August 2017

A recent article in Forbes India looks at the buzz-concept of disruption, and how many companies are caught up in a disrupt-or-die philosophy.

When the idea of disruption was first floated in the early 20th century, it reflected the standard market movements of the day; today’s lightning-fast disruption cycle has completely turned the old concept of “normal” on its ear. But is disruption just a by-product of the modern world?

The authors explore ways that it can be a more positive force in business, including Desautels professor Henry Mintzberg’s philosophy that planners should explore a wide gamut of issues rather than honing in too early on a solution.
