Who are the world's leading authorities on the origins of business speak?
I am writing a book on the history of Business Speak (i.e. "swim lane," "core competency"). To that end, I am tracking down the origins of some of the most widely-used business terms.
I'm looking for an authority on the topic that I can partner with and quote, when need be, in the final product.
Help?
