Laurence Peter Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Peter récidive cette fois avec l'idée (assez connue) que les systèmes organisationnels ou les bureaucraties ont tendance à évoluer au point d'en venir à occuper tout le temps et tout l'espace. Stimulant.

Peter-Prinzip im Lichte neuerer Forschung

Peter's people

Blending wit and wisdom, Dr. Peter discusses the need for individuals to realize their potential if they are to achieve happiness in life

Why is the human race foundering in a morass of occupational, academic, and administrative inefficiency? Here, at last, is the answer in the delightful, dead-pan humor of this book. Not only do the authors reveal why the world is so completely screwed up, but they provide proven techniques for creative control of personal, social, and business problems. They analyze the reasons for human failure and tell how to achieve a state of well-being by avoiding that unwanted, ultimate promotion. Students of Freud, Potter, and Parkinson will be fascinated by this satirical examination of man's tendency to escalate himself to oblivion at his level of incompetence.

First published in 1969, a satirical examination of management, which presents the 'Peter Principle', a theory developed by the author which explains possible reasons for the occupational, academic and administrative inefficiency in public and private companies.
