Our organizations are flooded with empty talk. We are constantly
"going forward" to lands of "deliverables", stopping off on the
"journey" to "drill down" into "best practice". Being an expert at
using management speak has become more important in corporate life
than delivering long lasting results. The upshot is that
meaningless corporate jargon is killing our organizations. In this
book, management scholar the author argues we need to call this
empty talk what it is: bullshit. The book looks at how
organizations have become vast machines for manufacturing,
distributing and consuming bullshit. It follows how the meaningless
language of management has spread through schools, NGOs, politics
and the media. Business Bullshit shows you how to spot business
bullshit, considers why it is so popular, and outlines the impact
it has on organizations and the people who work there. It also
outlines what we can do to minimise bullshit at work. The author
makes a case for why organizations need to avoid empty talk and
reconnect with core activities.
