The Devil's Dictionary of Corporate Lingo: From Corporate Angel to
Corporate Zombie is a satire and humorous social commentary on the
contemporary corporation presented through the conceit of a
dictionary of "corporate-speak." It also introduces stereotypical
corporate characters with all their peculiar characteristics and
behaviours in situations commonly encountered at work, in a
satirical and witty and humorous way. As indicated in the
introduction, "corporation" chiefly means the large multi-national,
as only this type of corporation contains the entire human zoo and
all its keepers. Around one third of the definitions have been
illustrated by a celebrated professional cartoonist who has
published more than 30 other books so far. The cartoons are some of
the highest quality business cartoons yet drawn; they may be
expected to garner plenty of attention in their own right. Few if
any other publications can boast of so many cartoons on the subject
of business gathered together under one cover. The objective is to
make readers think as well as laugh.
