Parkinson's Law: or The pursuit of progress

(1955)
A non fiction book by

C Northcote Parkinson

 

Parkinson's Law can be stated very simply:Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.The consequences of this law--which appears to be applicable to all organizations--are traced by C. Northcote Parkinson in a book which at first glance seems merely hilariously funny.At second glance,the reader feels a kind of chilling sense of recognition: What if Parkinson's Law is true?
