Management: Using Film to Visualize Principles and Practices

Management: Using Film to Visualize Principles and Practices presents the first truly structured system for using popular and classic film clips to illustrate and reinforce key management concepts. A comprehensive manual of teaching resources illustrates how film can easily be integrated into any course, provides detailed analyses of all film scene selections, and describes other innovative ways to use film (e.g. as cases, as experiential exercises, as visual metaphors). For the student, a complete workbook provides an introduction to the management topic under review, detailed scene setups, points for discussion, plus opportunities for scene analysis and for recording personal reactions - perfect for assignments or class discussion. The workbook and the manual are the result of over five years of intensive film research.
