Who would have thought a movie can also be a case study?
This is what you get when you enroll into a business school. Everything can be interpreted and should be interpreted in the manner to which it can improve your leadership skill and ability.
Dead Poets Society is our case study for Managing People in Organizations class. We have to analyze the movie and come up with a 20 minute team presentation. I really like the fact that this is the class final exam. It’s one of the best assignment/final exam I’ve ever had!
I watched DPS (it has become Dead Poets Society’s code name for many teams) ten years ago and fell asleep after 30 minutes of it. This time around, it’s totally different. You see many things in there that you can apply management principles to, and many scenes that illustrate the situations we talked about and discussed in class. The assignment is very good for a team experience also. Our team watched the movie together at one teammate’s house and it was really fun. We are all in full gear now and repeatedly citing the quotes from DPS to each other. Our presentation is next Tuesday, and our first module will end on Wednesday. Time really does just fly by……
Wish us luck!! and …. DPS rules!
