‘Contrasting leadership styles, charismatic CEOs, toxic hierarchies
and contested takeovers: these are the timbers that underpin the
narratives of Game of Thrones and business school curricula. If we
learn best through stories that bring to vivid life the key
principles of human existence, then the analysis of contemporary
capitalism, global enterprise and the humane management of people
within systems all come brilliantly to life in Fiona Moore’s
lively, accessible and intriguing introduction to organizational
theory. Shaped by the multiple storylines of Game of Thrones, it is
a must-read for show fans and management students alike.’
