Management Lessons from Game of Thrones - Organization Theory and Strategy in Westeros (Hardcover)

This intriguing and absorbing book takes a look at aspects of Westerosi society and politics from an anthropological and organizational studies angle.

Based on a detailed knowledge of Game of Thrones but grounded in serious management research, Fiona Moore provides a tour of the organizations, leaders and followers in Westeros, giving insights into the fantasy kingdom as well as important lessons managers can use in their own careers. Providing a brief and enjoyable introduction to management and organization theory, the book then discusses how and why modern management concepts can be seen in Game of Thrones, exploring concepts such as leadership, strategy and human resource management through a unique lens.
