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

Specifically, are these films realistic depictions of howthese firms would operate in real life? Describe the organizationalculture, professionalism (or lack of it), respect for work andemployees, leadership principles, efficiencies, motivationalcriteria, team dynamics, or tolerance for risk. For example, do theorganizations accept and encourage risk-taking among employees? Howare decisions made – via participatory/group decision making or topdown/ authoritatively? Are there ethical issues presented in thefilms? Are the corporate cultures based on performance orcareerism? Do the cultures encourage selfish or team-orientedbehavior? Comment on the aspects of organizational behavior thatyou notice in the films.

Lastly, do the films provide any useful management lessons (bethey positive examples of how to do things well, or depictions ofwhat “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 evenentertain us!). Some of my favorite work-related films include:Margin Call (2011), Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), Joy (2015), OfficeSpace (1999), Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009), HarlanCountry U.S.A. (1976), American Factory (2019), and Executive Suite(1954). What are some of yours?
