Why is Bacchic relevant to businesses?

Bacchic addresses key themes important to a business organisation of any size:

Management Style

Suergaz is a figure of excess, he believes he is untouchable. It is only when a skeptical academic Maddy publically questions his assertions that even a fragment of doubt creeps into his mind.Suergaz confronts and intimidates Maddy over her criticism and attempts to destroy her reputation in the media. He is a quintessential example of the way power can corrupt.

Criticism and Feedback

In its central conflict Bacchic illustrates the way in which criticism is handled by individuals and organisations. Suergaz uses his position to manipulate the media but ultimately this cannot save him. The parallels with the way organizations handle criticism are clear.

Personal and Social responsibility

Bacchic acts as a timely and relevant warning signal. It calls for society to look at its beliefs and ideals before it requires a tragedy for it to wake up to its own corruption.

Sustainability

The dialogues between Bacchic and issues surrounding sustainability and social responsibility within the business world are a rich source of discussion and dialogue.
