Movie Analysis 2 page essay
Purpose:
1. To learn how to apply organizational behavior theories and concepts to practical situations.
Requirements
- One of the key areas where organizational behaviors can be observed is in movies. Many movies depict dynamic characters demonstrating how they affect other individuals, teams and/or organizations and, also how others affect them. You will use the movie of your choice to visualize and ultimately apply the organizational behavior theories and concepts we have discussed this semester. This assignment entails writing, analyzing, and interpreting events in terms of management theories and concepts. You must describe and elaborate on the theory or conceptual material from this course that you use to interpret the situation. Then, discuss the implications and come up with a solution or recommendation.
- Specifically, you should explain how management principles and ideas play a significant role in the movie you are analyzing. Relevant management topics include, but are not limited to:
- Individual differences (e.g., personality, attitudes, values)
- Stress
- Motivation
- Leadership
- Organizational Commitment
- Work Life balance
- Diversity
- Job Satisfaction
- Team Dynamics
- Conflict
- Culture
- Decision Making
- Strategic Management
- Managing a Global Environment
Grading
· A paper in which you critically analyze a movie. You must mention at least 3 concepts/theories and explain its application. This paper should reflect a thorough understanding of the OB concepts employed as well as the use of excerpts and examples from the movie to help illustrate these concepts. Since papers should be about 2 to 3 pages, double-spaced, it is important that you are careful with the movie that you select. Look to select a movie that has a strong business component (e.g., Duplicity, 2009; Citizen Kane, 1941; Nine to Five, 1980; The Secret of My Success, 1987; Baby Boom, 1987; Fun with Dick and Jane, 2005; Antitrust, 2001; The Pursuit of Happyness, 2006).
