Let’s go to the movies!: Teaching management through film

Keywords: Movies, discussion-based class, engaging assignments

Abstract: Instructors often use movies or short clips to bring a specific topic or theory to life. Perhaps a few students participate in the discussion that follows, but others passively watch the clip for entertainment. This session will highlight activities that can be used with any movie to help students critically engage with the content. While the session focuses on a three-week winter term course, Management through Films, attendees can easily adapt all or one of the activities into their courses. Attendees will receive a list of movies as well as ideas for how to facilitate critical analysis of the movies.
