- Archibald Putt
Archibald Putt is the pseudonym of the author of "Putt's Law and the successful technocrat" ref harvard|top_of_article|Putt, 1981|none, which popularized the
adage known as "Putt's Law", which states::Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand.
This adage was first published in "Research/Development magazine" in January 1976 ref harvard|first_use_of_adage|Dickson, 1980|none.
A new version of Putt's book, ISBN 0-471-71422-4, was released on April 21, 2006. Advance publicity hinted that the author's true name, which has been the subject of much speculation over the years, will be revealed after the new edition is released.
