/adhəˈkɹat/

Etymology

From ad hoc + -crat, by analogy with bureaucrat.

noun

  1. One who espouses or practises adhocracy.“The efficient manager of bureaucracy was to be replaced by a change-responsive ‘adhocrat’ (Toffler, 1970). But […] the 1950s’ tasks of management are not being replaced, but enlarged and complemented; much of the equipment of the industrial manager will remain vital to the firm’s success.”
