Are business schools destroying business? A growing number of business school professors believe they are. Now one of their best-liked colleagues has added his voice, posthumously. Sumantra Ghoshal of London Business School died last year, aged 55, while still he was developing his critique of management educators and the damage they had wrought.

His paper, Bad Management Theories are Destroying Good Management Practices, published next month in the Academy of Management's Learning & Education journal, is among many pieces of Ghoshal's work that will resonate after his premature death.
