Edgar Henry Schein (March 5, 1928 – January 26, 2023) was a Swiss-born American business theorist and psychologist who was professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management. He was a foundational researcher in the discipline of organizational behavior, and made notable contributions in the field of organizational development in many areas, including career development, group process consultation, and organizational culture. One of his most notable works, Coercive Persuasion (1961), was funded by the CIA as a part of the infamously illegal Project MK-Ultra, though he claimed later to be unaware of his funding source. He was the son of former University of Chicago professor Marcel Schein.
