usual (high) Dilbert quality humour

If you are a Dilbert fan you will love this standard collection of Scott Adams humour. Nothing unexpected...the feeling of reading this comic book is that of familiar comfort--to the extreme!

One of the masters best !!!
|
|
Just finished reading this book and thought it one of the best from the master himself. It will incite spasms of recognition with anyone in any way connected to a large organisation. Its frightfully accurate but very funny. Meetings for the sake of meeting and cringe-worthy mission statements. I also read Management by Vice - its not very good and no match for the master himself. A bit boring in fact. The only area not covered by 'Dilbert' is all that touchy feely 'Human Resource Management' stuff (BS) which has got to be the waffle of waffle - hopefully we'll see it covered soon.

Very Funny Office Humor!
|
|
I enjoyed this book. It presents a lively collection of very funny management and cubicle worker situations. However, though aspects of managerial bungling are protrayed in Dilbert's unique style, "Ramdom Acts of Management" does not address managerial short-comings throughout the corporate structure or the diverse candid opinions of employees. To read about a somewhat more complete perspective on company-wide mis-management, from project managers to glib CEOs and their interactions with their feisty and/or frustrated technical staff, I definitely recommend the hilarious and insightful episodes in the frank, true-to-life American satire, "Management by Vice" (by C.B. Don). It's not just a compilation of cartoon strips, but real a book with episodes, witty verses and accompanying sharp illustrations! With these two books, you can always have a good laugh and thus be prepared for anything management throws your way from the office to the R&D setting, right the way through the corporate culture and up the company ladder!

Another Scott Adams' masterpiece...
|
|
exagerrating? Maybe but I never had satisfaction below expectations from a Adams Dilbert book. Sometimes it even predicts something that's about to really happen in... minutes! Working in a big corporation is just like that!

It's no the best Dilbert book... but it's not bad...
|
|
A lot of the strips I had already seen on the dilbert web site, so they didn't seem as funny second time around. Personally I prefered The Dilbert future... but this is still a good read for £5...
