| Abstract: | During the last three decades, there have been dozens of sound management theories, e.g. Activity-Based-Costing. Balanced-Scorecard, Core competencies, Lean, Six Sigma, TQM, TOC, MBO, MCDM etc. A major reason for the failure of these models is the 'overdose syndrome', that is, taking good principles to the extremes. In this paper, the origins of the managerial 'overdose syndrome' are analyzed, describing undesired outcomes and suggesting ways to avoid them in the future. The managerial overdose phenomenon with its remedies is shortly illustrated through cases. |
