Review:
"...A really entertaining and amusing read with enough food for thought to make it a ′serious′ business book." (Future Filter, September 2000)
From the Back Cover:
"..a great deal of important information.." (Long Range Planning, No.34 2001)
Get Ready. You are about to blast off into outer space. Destination: Planet Business. Business is a planet of its own. A world of alien beings and irrational forces never before so insightfully or brutally chronicled as in Barry Gibbons’ new book Chronicles from the Planet Business. In this book, Gibbons takes you on a dizzying ride through the world of business. Along the way, you will meet up with Czar Nicholas and his doomed family, WWII flying aces, Margaret Thatcher, Saddam Hussein, Monty Python, Bill Gates, Mother Theresa, Sam Walton, Michael Jordan and many others. You will also learn the real truth about the Trojan Horse, Zippergate, George W. Bush’s missing years in Lubbock, TX., frequent flyer miles, the EU, the International Olympic Committee, dating and more.
No one is better suited and more able to poke fun at the world of business than Barry Gibbons, the former CEO of Burger King and enlightened capitalist. This book proves once and for all that business is stupid how else to explain Arch Deluxe, downsizing, the EU, Al Dunlap, New Coke, Motorola and dress down Fridays.
What readers have to say about Barry Gibbons:
