 The Virginia Quarterly Review - The Timelessness of Stephen Potter's Gamesmanship   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Potter's quirky and amusing analysis of perverse sportsmanship was published in 1947, a time when sophisticated readers would occasionally switch their attention from apocalyptic think-pieces on the Op-Ed pages to devour such masterpieces of nonsense as Thurber's My Life And Times, Robert Benchley's The Treasurer's Report, and S. Perelman's The Road to Miltoton.
Potter's analysis of this ploy is replete with sharply observed nonsense.
Although Potter expanded his joke to include areas other than sports, where scoring points through mastery of the symbols of status comes into play, he did not foresee the degree to which psychological game-playing would pervade the managerial culture in American corporations, and, in doing so, cease to be an object of ridicule.
