C. Northcote Parkinson

저자에 대하여

C. Northcote Parkinson was a British naval historian and author, best known for his works on administration and organizational theory. He gained widespread recognition for his book "Parkinson's Law, and Other Studies in Administration," published in 1957, where he famously articulated the idea that "work expands to fill the time available for its completion." This insight has since influenced a range of fields, from business management to time management strategies, and continues to be referenced in discussions about productivity and efficiency.

Beyond his exploration of organizational dynamics, Parkinson also wrote extensively about historical naval trade, particularly in his book "Trade in Eastern Seas 1793-1813." His academic background and keen observations brought a unique perspective to the study of both history and administration. Parkinson's contributions have had a lasting impact on how organizations are viewed and managed, making him a significant figure in the fields of sociology and management theory.
