Influential Management Thinkers
The Thinkers 50 2005 provides a completely new ranking. Produced by Suntop Media in association with the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), it is the definitive bi-annual guide to which thinkers and ideas are in - and which have been consigned to business history.
Here are the top 12:
- Michael Porter
- Bill Gates
- CK Prahalad
- Tom Peters
- Jack Welch
- Jim Collins
- Philip Kotler
- Henry Mintzberg
- Kjell Nordstrom and Jonas Ridderstrale
- Charles Handy
- Richard Branson
- Scott Adams
Two of our favorites are on this list: Henry Mintzberg and Scott Adams. Scott Adams said,
My first reaction was to feel sorry for the poor bastards who ranked 13 through 50. I imagine they would have felt pretty good about making the list until they were topped by the guy who wants to adopt a frozen embryo, name it Amy and keep it in the fridge.
I’m not entirely sure who I’m influencing with my world-class management thinking, but it can’t be a good thing.
