This has always been the way for business with sagas and drama.
There are biographies on business (such as The Second Coming of Steve Jobs or The Google Story).
Regarding buyouts and takeovers, the amount of drama surrounding them is inexcapable. One of the most famous is Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco. True story about bidding on a company. Great book. Also a great movie starring James Gardner. Also see the fictional play and movie Other People's Money for a great speech to stockholders during a hostile takeover.
