Business Fun

It's difficult to avoid a sneaky feeling that business is much too serious to be taken lightly. In fact, it's much too serious NOT to be taken lightly. These books take a humorous view of business, but there are some real lessons there too.

US shelf UK Shelf Scott Adams

P Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
Where previous Adams management books (as opposed to pure cartoon collections) have achieved some balance between the positive and the negative, this plunges whole heartedly into the BAD side of business. This is all about being a weasel - a weasel manager or a weasel employee, out to screw everyone and the business for as much as you can get - is not just about being negative, though. The fact is there's plenty to learn, because pretty well everything in here is what not to do, and there are very few of us who work in organizations where some of these bad practices don't occur.

The Dilbert Principle. Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
With a combination of witty text and devastatingly funny cartoons, Scott Adams illustrates everything you can do wrong in business. Superb.

The Dilbert Future: thriving on stupidity in the 21st Century. Visit bookstore Visit bookshop

Adams has done it again, managing to mock both management text books and everything business can throw at us in the future. Slightly more words and less cartoons, but still hits the spot.

US shelf UK Shelf C. Northcote Parkinson

Parkinson's Law. Visit bookstore
Parkinson's Law (work expands to fill the time available for its completion) is quoted so often, that it has assumed a mythical quality like Murphy's Law. In fact it is the underlying theme of this early (1958) humorous business book. Sometimes the humour is a little heavy-handed, but there's a lot more on how not to run a business in there. Worth buying for the nuclear reactors / bicycle sheds discussion alone.
