Through a series of droll vignettes, Gibbons takes us on a
romp-roaring ride through the next 999 years of corporate mayhem
and madness - bad behaviours which affect everyone - from the
street sweeper to the CEO in his private jet. Because we're not
talking about little blips on a profit and loss statement in a poxy
sector of some niche industry.
Business has far more an impact on our daily lives than
government or politics. About half of the world's biggest economies
are now corporations. From Enron's attempt to bring back the
eighties with their excessive greed to Vodafone's loosing millions
(that didn't actually exist in the first place) - Gibbons rips into
the antics of these once trusted companies. So is it all doom and
gloom? Are we destined for failure because of the frolicking these
companies get up to - at our expense!? Are there any lessons or
optimistic quick turn-around plans of action that Gibbons can share
with us? Not really. But Warning: May Contain Nuts makes for some
highly entertaining reading. And for the clever among us the
lessons are implied. Just don't be daft.
