This is parody of management books. It's unique, it's irreverent, it's grim, and it abounds with dark humor.

Produktbeschreibung
This is parody of management books. It's unique, it's irreverent, it's grim, and it abounds with dark humor. Mixed in with the gags, drollery, and colossal euphemisms are gems of management survival wisdom such as "Any lie that keeps your boss's name off the police blotter is a good lie". Management books tend to be sacrosanct and are usually written either by university professors who have never managed anything other than the departmental coffee pot fund, or by human resources people who can only recite company rules and regulations. This book has been written by a manager who, for decades, was on the front lines dealing with nitty-gritty get-the-work-done issues.The Case Studies come from real business problems, but the solutions vary from pedestrian to sublime to utter fantasy. While many management books exhort the manager to think outside the box, this book advocates thinking beneath the box. The topics covered in this book are varied; there is a chapter on creative obfuscation, another on choosing travel companions, and another on what to do and why retirement decisions that reach far beyond simply ensuring sufficient retirement income. This book reaches beyond the Peter Principle and presents a number of lessons for management.
