Scott Adams Boeken

Scott Adams is striptekenaar van de strip Dilbert, een strip over situaties op het werk en met name over 'de stomme chef'. In dit boek neemt hij het bedrijfsleven op de korrel. De tekst wordt op vrijwel iedere bladzijde afgewisseld met zwart-witstrips, die het geschrevene illustreren. Volgens Adams loopt veel mis: "We verwachten dat anderen rationeel handelen, maar zelf zijn we irrationeel". Op allerlei onderwerpen zoals vergaderingen, ondernemingsplannen, personeelsbeleid, marketing en ISO-certificering geeft hij zijn ironische visie. Ook besteedt hij aandacht aan personen in het bedrijfsleven, zoals leiders, technici, onderzoekers, programmeurs en management consultants. Zo is hij van mening dat managers diegenen zijn die nergens anders geschikt voor zijn. Dit idee is het zogenaamde Het Dilbert principe.

"My cube is sucking the life force out of me." - DilbertIn Cubes and Punishment Dilbert sardonically skewers the Dostoevskian sense of despair and anxiety that corporate life breeds. And nowhere is this sense more alive than in the desolation of the cubicle. In Dilbert's world, cubicle dwellers are relegated to everything from the half-size intern cubicle to the patented head cubicle and are even sentenced to adopt and decorate empty cubicles.Dilbert continues to be the voice for the embattled cubicle-dwelling everyman. With best-friend Dogbert, and a veritable who's who in accompanying office characters ranging from the Boss and Wally to Alice and Catbert, Dilbert offers a welcome dose of laughter in response to the inanity of corporate culture and middle-management mores.

"Ninety percent of ethics is picking the right ethicist." --DilbertScott Adams offers up his this Dilbert collection exploring themes of sloth and corporate indifference. The arbitrary, unspoken rules of interoffice emailing, the random policy generator, and the knowledge that management has indeed given up ever trying to win an award for best place to work all combine to make life in the Dilbert workplace as demoralizing as real life.Dilbert navigates through the same corporate 9 to 5 existence in which his readers physically dwell. Dilbert, Dogbert, the boss, Wally, Alice, and Catbert tackle corporate indolence, avarice, and pretense one strip at a time, from the neighboring cubicle whistler to the project naysayer to the guy who's always just too busy to lend a hand.
