Question

Compare and contrast two films (they may be feature films or documentaries, fiction or non-fiction) on the way they portray organizational life, the nature of work, systems, or culture at work. These films can deal with any aspect(s) or function(s) of the organization (e.g., finance, HR, IT, R&D, production, sales, general management, etc.).

Specifically, are these films realistic depictions of how these firms would operate in real life? Describe the organizational culture, professionalism (or lack of it), respect for work and employees, leadership principles, efficiencies, motivational criteria, team dynamics, or tolerance for risk. For example, do the organizations accept and encourage risk-taking among employees? How are decisions made – via participatory/group decision making or top down/ authoritatively? Are there ethical issues presented in the films? Are the corporate cultures based on performance or careerism? Do the cultures encourage selfish or team-oriented behavior? Comment on the aspects of organizational behavior that you notice in the films.

Lastly, do the films provide any useful management lessons (be they positive examples of how to do things well, or depictions of what “not to do” in an organization).

Feel free to post a clip (via YouTube link or other source) that you think might help dramatize your point (Or maybe even entertain us!). Some of my favorite work-related films include: Margin Call (2011), Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), Joy (2015), Office Space (1999), Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009), Harlan Country U.S.A. (1976), American Factory (2019), and Executive Suite (1954). What are some of yours?
