Heroic Villains: The Badlands of Economy and Organization

Martin Parker

Chapter 8 in Organizational Epics and Sagas, 2008, pp 105-117 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Captain Jack Sparrow would probably not pay much attention to the anti-piracy warning copied above. He would, however, be impressed that the film (as of June 2007) had grossed over one billion dollars. Its predecessor, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) only grossed $654 million, which was beaten in its first three weeks by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007) on $752 million. This does not include income from DVD rentals and sales, sponsoring tie-ups and merchandising.
