The Inmates
Are Running the Asylum
by Alan Cooper
Book Description
The Inmates are Running the Asylum argues that, despite
appearances, business executives are simply not the ones in
control of the high-tech industry. They have inadvertently
put programmers and engineers in charge, leading to products
and processes that waste huge amounts of money, squander
customer loyalty, and erode competitive advantage. They have
let the inmates run the asylum. Alan Cooper offers a
provocative, insightful and entertaining explanation of how
talented people continuously design bad software-based
products. More importantly, he uses his own work with
companies big and small to show how to harness those talents
to create products that will both thrill their users and grow
the bottom line.
