Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
You loved the comic strip; now read the business advice. Or should that be anti-business advice? Scott Adams provides the hapless victim of re-engineering, rightsizing and Total Quality Management some strategies for fighting back, er, coping. Forced to work long hours, with no hope of a raise? Adams offers tips on maintaining parity in compensation. Along the way, Adams explains what ISO 9000 really is and assesses the irresistibility of female engineers.
The breath-taking cynicism of the strip should prepare readers for the author's no-holds-barred attack on management fads, large organizations, pointless bureaucracy and sadistic rule-makers who glory in control of office supplies. Readers of the on-line Dilbert Newsletter are familiar with the kind of e-mail Adams receives from his readers--and may even have sent a few of those missives themselves. Along with illustrative strips, e-mail messages provide excruciating examples of corporate behavior which compel the reader to agree with Adams when he insists that "People are idiots".
The final chapter offers a model for would-be successful businesses to follow: the OA5 model. It's introduced with little fanfare, no outrageous promises and just the right amount of self-deprecation.
Kurzbeschreibung
Ausgehend vom Prinzip: "Die unfähigsten Mitarbeiter werden systematisch in die Position versetzt, in der sie am wenigsten Schaden anrichten können - ins Management!", schildert Scott Adams das Innenleben großer Unternehmen und die dort alltäglichen Absurditäten.
Mit spitzer Feder und ironischer Distanz analysiert er die verschiedensten Themen des heutigen Büroalltags: Meetings, Downsizing, Teamarbeit, die großen Lügen des Managements, Projektmanagement, Budgetierung, Marketing, ISO 9000. Die satirischen Analysen sind angereichert mit einer Unzahl Cartoons seines Helden Dilbert, der die Konsequenzen des modernen Management auf seinen Büroalltag am eigenen Leib erleben muß. Alle 26 Kapitel rundet Adams mit Briefen leidgeprüfter Angestellter ab, deren tatsächliche Erlebnisse den Abenteuern Dilberts in nichts nachstehen.
Eine höchst unterhaltsames Spiegelbild der nackten Wirklichkeit in den Unternehmen.

This book is so real that it is scary. You can tell that Scott Adams has spent time. His description of cube life is still relevant today.
I have been trying to justify the Peter Principle and could not make it fit but after reading this book all things became clear. It is impossible to keep a straight face in meetings with out seeing the different types of personalities doing their thing. I can even anticipate what they are going to say and the reactions.
Usually as most books and movies you recognize everyone but yourself. The most obnoxious person will laugh at his stereotype or just not get the point when it comes to movies and books. However this book is scary in the fact that I could see myself when Scott was describing engineers. And it took a little while to realize what he was talking about the ringing device that knows when to break your concentration.
I am going to leave a copy on QA's desk.
MY next must read is "Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook"

My work involves helping company leaders identify the causes of "stalled" thinking in the organization. What impresses me about this book is how many of the causes Scott Adams has identified. The man is clearly a great observer of organizations. His crusade against "stalled" thinking (especially by the leaders) also means that others with keen insights send him their observations, as well. Future historians of the American corporation would do better to start with Scott Adams than most of the organizational theory and practice business books that have been written. His humor is excellent, because he is unerring in picking the right balloon to pop. As a management consultant, I regularly reread his chapter on management consultants to be sure that I am not behaving like the ones he describes. Keep these wonderful books and comic strips coming! Be sure to post the strips where they will get the most attention. Maybe you will help someone wake up in your leadership!

Good read for those entering the corporate world...

This book was a nice read for me since I'm recently back in the corporate world. It's amusing with practical advice for office workers mixed into the humor and sarcasm. I've learned a few things, I admit. And it makes me thankful I don't work for a huge company, when I see what some employees have to tolerate.

If you think you cannot lie during the interviews, you should read this book before you face one. I am sure you will be able to lie without feeling guilty :)
Good Luck!
