BUSINESSWORLD: Showbiz style of management Strategic Perspective Rene B. Azurin NEVER MIND that President Aquino's SONA was a kilo-metric, pat-myself-on-the-back recitation of the "accomplishments" of his administration; what is bothersome is the sense one is given that he hasn't been paying much attention to what has been going on in the country the past year. Otherwise, why did he make it sound like news that there is rampant corruption going on at such agencies as the BOC? Hadn't he been tracking this? It's almost as if his style of "management" consisted of holing up in a room in the presidential palace -- playing video games perhaps? -- until he is called upon by his handlers to read a speech or make a cameo appearance for the TV cameras. If management professors like me were asked to stick a label on this style, we could call it the "showbiz style of management."
