Thomas A. Stewart Boeken

Thomas Stewart’s splendid, cinematic poems distil the detritus of late desire—thievery, stain remover, Grindr, a wild oak, satire—into one universal quandary: “to fuck or fight.” Knowingly, dryly, he reveals the bloodless truth.

In this text, the author provides a practical, prescriptive, four-step process for managing knowledge assets, while questioning many of the assumptions on which we have based business life since the early 1900s. The book examines why companies exist in the first place, how people should be compensated for their work and plunges into the always controversial but vital topic of measurement.
