Since technology is closely related to management and strategy (because it's a 'strategic tool'), and since this is a technology blog, you'll have to give this one some thought.

Scott Adams (yes, him again) made the number 12 spot of the Influential Management Thinker list.

The funny thing is, Adam's isn't a management guru. He doesn't even consider himself an anti-guru, as he told me several years ago during an interview, because he doesn't give any alternatives. He just points out the crazyness in this world.

So how does a notable non-management thinker respond to being on a influential management thinkers list?

"My first reaction was to feel sorry for the poor bastards who ranked 13 through 50. I imagine they would have felt pretty good about making the list until they were topped by the guy who wants to adopt a frozen embryo, name it Amy and keep it in the fridge."

This is the last Dilbert Blog link for this year. I promise. But this one really needed linking.
