''Putt's Law and the Successful Technocrat'' is a book, credited to the pseudonym 'Archibald Putt' published in 1981. An updated edition, subtitled ''How to Win in the Information Age'', was published by Wiley-IEEE Press in 2006. The book is based upon a series of articles published in Research/Development Magazine in 1976 and 1977. It proposes 'Putt's Law' and 'Putt's Corollary'〔Archibald Putt. ''Putt's Law and the Successful Technocrat: How to Win in the Information Age'', Wiley-IEEE Press (2006), ISBN 0-471-71422-4. Preface.〕 which are principles of negative selection similar to The Dilbert principle by Scott Adams proposed in the 1990s. Putt's law is sometimes grouped together with the Peter Principle, Parkinson's Law and Stephen Potter's Gamesmanship series as "P-literature". ==Putt's Law== The book proposes 'Putt's Law' and 'Putt's Corollary': *Putt's Law: "''Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage and those who manage what they do not understand.''"〔Archibald Putt. ''Putt's Law and the Successful Technocrat: How to Win in the Information Age'', Wiley-IEEE Press (2006), ISBN 0-471-71422-4. page 7.〕 *Putt's Corollary: "''Every technical hierarchy, in time, develops a competence inversion.''"〔 with incompetence being "flushed out of the lower levels" of a technocratic hierarchy, ensuring that technically competent people remain directly in charge of the actual technology while those without technical competence move into management. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Putt's Law and the Successful Technocrat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
