Selecting and Developing Experiential Exercises Using Movies a Management Training Perspective

Abstract

Over the years, business faculty and management train-era have used movies to teach/demonstrate business principles. Recently, greater use of the movies has appeared in management training programs to teach a wide variety of subjects. These include leadership, career management, and business ethics. This paper examines the available materials and provides guidelines for selection and use. And it describes a step- by-step process for developing exercises using movies. An exercise in business ethics is examined in detail, from selection of a film to development of the companion experiential exercise.
