In this chock-full Episode #3 of the Capital Notions Podcast, the gang feels compelled to offer a lyrically masterful retort to some commentaries by hater MC's (i.e. Marxist Communists). But first, an anecdotally rich review of “Managing By Design”, an article about design thinking in organizations in the latest issue of the Academy of Management Journal.

Links to many of the ideas referenced in this episode follow, as well as Brad’s mad rhymes, congellified like a Hammurabi Codex in what legend will likely refer to as “The Organizational Theory Anthem”...

THE ORGANIZATIONAL THEORY ANTHEM:

It’s like — bustin’ rhymes w/ideational animals,

Organized apprisin’ you of oligarchiccannibals,

Couple kinda ‘clectic cop-a feel that’s dialectical,

Electric — can you feel it? — yo it runs our stuff mechanical.

Bad like Michael. Pulp like Jackson.

Our posse's on a mountain w/an entourage of aspens.

Deliberatin’ salivatin’ warmin’ while hypothecatin’,

Ladies all declare the flannel’s quite intoxicatin’.

 

We channel all the alpha pseudocratic omnividuals.

With Popper picked a peck of Mont-Pelerin superscrutables.

Yo we got the looks… We got the hooks…

And don’t forget we got the books books books books,

All’o’the DJ’s in the hood they be relatin’ to the

Cherry-pickin’ chillin' subjugational caucasians.

Lexicon, paragon, our Lodge is the panopticon,

We rollin’ stag while crushin’ haters just like Megatron.

 

Magnetizin' monetizattention we monopolize-it'ssss...

Got a feelin we be reelin' in polemical hitzzzz...

Operated solely by the most initiated

Tiger and a hammerhead about to be emancipated.

Rrrrawwrrrr!!! We drop pawns like Fischer.

B-school phonies and their cronies yo they all be wishin' they could...

...bust a rhyme or crush a theory like us,

From Saudi to Arabias to halls of academius...

 

Superfluid, bedu-druid, omnibus arcano-crew it’s…

…got our back like there is absolutely nothing to it.

Crystal blue the steely hue of cognitive ability,

With audio we bottle
