The Latest Management Bestseller

Followers of the management-guru literature won’t be surprised by this Daily Telegraph report that Mein Kampf is a business bestseller in India. Alas, like Good to Great, the book suffers from the fatal flaws of sampling on the dependent variable and choosing a non-representative sample period. (In a longitudinal sample, the Führer’s managerial performance doesn’t doesn’t look so great, does it?)

As is often the case, the best commentary on this (apparently true) story comes from the Onion: “Well, they sure don’t want to follow Gandhi’s model. All that guy ever did was lose money.”
