Research interests

According to his own statements, Holt is interested in organizational theory in general and in process philosophy , such as that represented by Holt's temporary co-author Robert Chia . In this context, Holt also relies on philosophical sources such as Virginia Woolf , Henri Bergson , Heraklit or Friedrich Nietzsche . In addition, Holt deals with entrepreneurial strategy, the art of John Ruskin and his ideas for artistic creation.
