The book is based upon a series of articles published in ''Research/Development Magazine'' in 1976 and 1977.

It proposes Putt's Law and Putt's Corollary which are principles of negative selection similar to the Dilbert principle proposed by Scott Adams in 1995. Putt's law is sometimes grouped together with the Peter principle, Parkinson's Law and Stephen Potter's Gamesmanship series as "P-literature". Provided by Wikipedia
