Different mindsets

I have just wandered on the office hall.
It was interesting to see that in the engineer's offices there were magazines as "Communications of the ACM", "Dr. Dobbs", etc. while in manager's "Money", "Biz" and so on.
Two completely different worlds in the same building.
The only way to make management(especially the pure non-technical or degenerated technical) understand problems is to translate the technical difficulties into money. Here are two nice articles about this:
