Mintzberg

Henry Mintzberg is a renowned management thinker known for analyzing how organizations are structured and managed. He identified that managers perform various roles, such as communicating, making decisions, and coordinating activities, which can be grouped into categories like interpersonal, informational, and decisional roles. Mintzberg also challenged traditional views of organizations by highlighting the complex, informal, and often unpredictable nature of managerial work. His work helps us understand that effective management involves a combination of different activities and roles, shaped by real-world complexities, rather than strictly following rigid rules or hierarchies.
