Both Barnes and Noble and Waterstones are owned by the same hedge fund (Elliot Management).
Looks like the hedge fund installed the new ceo when they purchased Barnes and Noble.
That hedge fund is probably filled with MBAs.

There's one MBA on their management committee. Heavily outnumbered by JDs.
I'm kind of astounded the article didn't talk about Paul Singer at all. It seems like a massive oversight to not dig into the money behind Barnes and Noble.
