"Pure and Simple" is a popular song, released as the debut single by Hear'Say, the original winners of the UK version of Popstars. The B-side was "Bridge Over Troubled Water", which was a fan favourite at the live shows.

The single spent three weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart and, at the time, it was the fastest selling debut single of all time in the UK, selling just under 550,000 copies in the first week, a record beaten a year later by Will Young, the winner of the first series of Pop Idol, with his debut single "Anything Is Possible"/"Evergreen". It was the second highest selling single of 2001 behind "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy, and in total, more than 1.2 million copies were sold, meaning it achieved a Double Platinum certification, one of the few singles to achieve the feat that decade.

The song was a cover version of a song originally released a year earlier by Girl Thing, who were dropped from Polydor Records to make way for Hear'Say. In 2006, it was covered by America's Got Talent winner Bianca Ryan on her self-titled album.

Professor Henry Mintzberg, OC OQ FRSC (born in Montreal, September 2, 1939) is an internationally renowned academic and author on business and management. He is currently the Cleghorn Professor of Management Studies at the Desautels Faculty of Management of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where he has been teaching since 1968.

He earned his Master's degree in Management and Ph.D. from the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1965 and 1968 respectively. His undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering is from McGill University.

Henry Mintzberg writes prolifically on the topics of management and business strategy, with more than 150 articles and fifteen books to his name. His seminal book, The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning (Mintzberg 1994), criticizes some of the practices of strategic planning today.

In 2004 he published a book entitled Managers Not MBAs (Mintzberg 2004) which outlines what he believes to be wrong with management education today. Rather controversially, Mintzberg claims that prestigious graduate management schools like Harvard Business School and the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania are obsessed with numbers and that their overzealous attempts to make management a science are damaging the discipline of management. Mintzberg advocates more emphasis on post graduate programs that educate practicing managers (rather than students with little real world experience) by relying upon action learning and insights from their own problems and experiences.
