Abstract
This learning support uses an extract from the
Academy Award winning Silence of the Lambs to
both exemplify an integrated organizational culture and,
conversely, organizational obstacles toward goal
attainment from political maneuvering by organizational
actors.
Purpose
To facilitate the development of understanding
organizational identity and organizational politics in a
classroom or learning group-based scenario.
Objective
Each member of the class or learning group is able to
identify elements of an idealized, integrated
organizational culture, to recognize micro-political
tactics, and to understand how these tactics are used to
obscure or enhance initiative in organizations.
