Professor Rita McGrath’s letter to the editor responding to comments by Michael Skapinker was published in the January 14, 2008 edition.
An excerpt: “Good scholarly understanding of business can add tremendous value to executives by helping them recognise patterns that suggest when one solution may be better than another, by helping them to become more informed consumers of management tools and theories and by accelerating their self-development in an era when companies have largely undermined their ability to help executives develop leadership skills.”
