Description
Shortlisted for the EGOS Book Award in 2021, this Routledge book challenges conventional wisdom about business success by examining the often-overlooked role of good fortune in leadership and strategy. Drawing on insights from economics, sociology, political science, philosophy, and psychology, the author constructs a brief intellectual history of luck and positions it as a critical concept in management theory. The book analyzes various dimensions of fortune including randomness, serendipity, and opportunity, whilst quantifying luck to counteract psychological biases that favour meritocratic explanations. Rather than accepting tired narratives about what drives success, this exploration reveals how chance events shape outcomes across business and society, offering readers a fresh perspective on the interplay between skill and fortune in professional achievement.
