Abstract:
At last, the longed for and much requested companion to 'Death Sentence', this book is for people who really want to know what a 'asset footprint' and 'aggressive timeline' are, and for those who want to mock the very idea. An invaluable guide to modern
managerial language, newspeak, and linguistic political chicanery.
