Social Rules in Organizations...

From a long time business associate and very wise man, Dmitry Goykhman...

These social rules of thumb can help us understand any large organization better...
Robert Conquest:
1) Everyone is conservative about what he knows best.
2) Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.
3) The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.
Parkinson:
I) Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
II) Officials want to multiply subordinates, not rivals.
III) Officials make work for one another.
