Title: It is almost complete
Review: The Witch Doctors by John Micklethwait & Adrian WooldridgeThe business editor and management correspondent of The Economist have not yet finished thisone, I'm afraid. Perhaps I am a little harsh. If you have been reading the magazine as avidly as Ihave for the last three years, there's little new here. In fact, I could not get over the feeling ofdéjà vu. They did point out that there is absolutely nothing to be gained by exposing charlatansor even mildly criticizing the self-proclaimed -- and unqualified -- gurus. I just wish that theywould have ridiculed more of these snake-oil salesmen for being con-artists -- and their clientsfor being dolts. For the authors, management studies is an infant science -- like economics ahundred years ago -- that will develop rigor in its maturity. Yeah, maybe.
Is the review positive or negative?
