  • Dilbert and Dogbert in the Information Age 79
    DILBERT AND DOGBERT IN THE INFORMATION AGE 79 Dilbert and Dogbert in the Information Age: Productivity, Corporate Culture, and Comic Art Karen Langlois California State Polytechnic University, Pomona In the cartoon strip of the same name, Dilbert, an engineer, contends with the complexities and challenges of technological change and corporate restruc- turing. The cartoon, a satire on modern corporate culture, criticizes the pervasive influence of the business efficiency movement known as Total Quality Management. The issue of productivity in the post-modern age holds particular relevance for educators at a time when institutions of higher learning seek to restructure themselves in the image of the modern corporation. Introduction In the past decade the cartoon strip Dilbert has become a phenomenon of popular culture. Created by cartoonist Scott Adams, it has become the fastest growing comic strip in America. Dilbert, the cartoon’s protagonist, is a naive, introverted engineer, toiling in the wasteland of American bureaucracy. His sardonic pet, Dogbert, is employed as a part-time management consultant. For the modern employee Dilbert and Dogbert have achieved the status of cultural icons. Confronted with the information revolution of the nineties, a transformation greater in scope than the industrial revolution, these new American (anti)heroes contend with the complexities and challenges of technological change and corporate restructuring. The identification of the public with the plight of the cartoon characters is evidenced by the craze for Dilbert and Dogbert merchandise. In addition to a television show and best selling books, Dilbert mania has created a market for Dilbert and Dogbert apparel, desk art, and dolls.

COMMENTS THE TECHNICALLY SKILLED WORKER AND THE CORPORATION: DAGWOOD, DILBERT AND BEYOND Corporate America finds itself in a sea of change. This change is the result of many factors including rapid technologi- cal developments so revolutionary that some have suggested that a third industrial revolution, the Age of Informatics, is at hand.1 Dynamic and profound changes in corporate organiza- tions abound as a result of the numerous leveraged buyouts of the 1980s and globalization of the world economy. A special component of this new technical age is human capital. No longer simply a pair of hands to do a task, human capital has evolved into a creative source of ideas and thought, the principal raw material for creating the information product. The increasing need for highly skilled workers, coupled with a decrease in opportunities for the marginally skilled employees, presents significant challenges not only to businesses, but also to society in general.

  • “Don't Be a Dilbert”: Transmedia Storytelling As Technical
    corrected 7/15/20 Applied Research “Don’t Be a Dilbert”: Transmedia Storytelling as Technical Communication during and after World War II By Edward A. Malone Abstract Purpose: My goal was to determine whether the U.S. Navy’s “Don’t Be a Dilbert” aviation safety campaign during World War II was a fully developed example of transmedia storytelling and whether it could be used as an illustration of transmedia storytelling in technical communication. Method: I located and gathered primary sources in the Navy’s safety campaign from archives, museums, and military and civilian publications, and then analyzed these artifacts according to the definition and attributes of transmedia storytelling in Jenkins (2007, 2011). Results: From my analysis, I found that the Navy’s use of the Dilbert myth combined multimodality with radical intertextuality in order to foster additive comprehension; it also employed a robust set of transmedia storytelling techniques. Conclusion: Tese findings suggest that transmedia storytelling was used to communicate technical information before the digital age and that the Navy’s Dilbert campaign is a potentially useful historical example for illustrating transmedia storytelling techniques. Keywords: transmedia storytelling, participatory culture, safety education, cartoon characters, history of technical communication Practitioner’s • Examines the role of transmedia communication students to Takeaway: storytelling in a high-stakes training transmedia storytelling program in which entertainment • Contributes to an understanding of supported education the history of transmedia storytelling • Provides a potential pedagogical in technical communication tool for introducing technical Volume 66, Number 3, August 2019 l Technical Communication 209 Applied Research "Don't Be a Dilbert" Introduction Most people are familiar with Dilbert, the main character in Scott Adams’ comic strip about an engineer who, in some ways, epitomizes the white- collar worker in corporate America.
