Dr. Parkinson, noted in his bureaucratic career, that "Work Expands to Fill the amount of time available for its completion." this defines a large factor in Bureaucratic and business life. The book was an instant sucess, and spawned other business and political science books which made this author and his imitators a good deal of money. It was deserved in his case. And became a useful in process design and project development thereafter. His prose is clear, andd the other essays in the work are often insightful aas well. ( ) Comic relief only to people with a cynical depressive view on mankind. Anyone expecting any office being (private or official) organized as what is described as vantage point here, will partake in making it so. Ridicule is mentioned as a possible cure, but the author´s vantage points is in each case too massively negative to be constructive - which to me looks like the author have the gravest form of injelitis himself.

Parkinson's Law states that 'work expands to fill the time available'. While strenuously denied by management consultants, bureaucrats and efficiency experts, the law is borne out by disinterested observation of any organization. The book goes far beyond its famous theorem, though. The author goes on to explain how to meet the most important people at a social gathering and why, as a matter of mathematical certainty, the time spent debating an issue is inversely proportional to its objective importance. Justly famous for more than forty years, Parkinson's Law is at once a bracingly cynical primer on the reality of human organization, and an innoculation against the wilful optimism to which we as a species are prone.
