'''''The Catt Concept: The New Industrial Darwinism''''' is a 1971 book by the electronics engineer and writer [[Ivor Catt]], published by G. P.

Drawing on Catt's experience working for five electronics companies in the United States during the 1960s, the book is a sharply critical — and satirical — examination of American corporate management.

It has been described as a survival manual "for anyone unfortunate enough to have to work for a living." Contemporary reviews were largely unfavourable. | |||
