“…Works of fiction are now widely recognized as legitimate fields for organizational research, not merely reflecting organizational realities but frequently helping to construct and make sense of them (see e.g. ; Hassard & Holliday, 1998;Lindebaum, 2012;Parker et al, 1999;Phillips, 1995). In addition, works of fiction, Oatley (2009) reminds us, represent meaningful simulations of the mind, often with life-like consequences.…”

In this essay, we oppose current conceptualizations of anger as, at least, a temporary individual psychological disorder and as the cause of a social disorder. We develop the view that anger can be a profoundly moral emotion aimed at maintaining moral order and restoring social order when this has been ruptured. Moral anger is distinguished from other types of anger, like the ones arising from routine frustration, break-downs of communication and ego violations. Through a close reading of the jury drama Twelve Angry Men, we demonstrate that moral anger has an information dimension, signaling a rupture of a moral code, as well as an energic dimension, as a source of energy aimed at putting right a wrong. We conclude that a world without anger would be, possibly, a compliant and quiescent world but not a just world.

The Hero-Leader Matrix in Business and Cinema

Textbooks and manuals on management suggest that managers are heroes who deal with difficult problems of collective adaptation and change. American films are similarly built on the premise of a hero confronted with extremely difficult situations. What if this hero figure promoted for so long in both management literature and the American film industry was the same at the structural level? This paper will attempt to clearly define the ethical performance of heroes that is perhaps shared by the imagination industry (hollywood) and the workplace on the long run. We shall follow this picture of a hero-leader in the ethics of business and cinema through a large corpus of movies and writings on management and provide a set of six features for examining both, a common heroic structure we shall call the Hero-Leader Matrix.

“…A focus on bodily expressions is found in a variety of traditions, including studies of gender and sexuality in organizations (see Hassard, et al, 2000), linking 'felt meanings' (Warren, 2008) to sensory experiences especially in form of images and signs (Meyer et al, 2013;Bell & Davison, 2013). Gestures and facial cues have been recognized as important aspects of communication (Manusov & Trees, 2002;LeBaron & Jones, 2002), and the proliferation of audio-visual communication and the widespread availability of imaging, video and networking capabilities (Pauwels, 2010) re-inforces this view.…”

This paper assesses the utility of video diaries as a method for organization studies.While it is frequently suggested that video-based research methodologies have the capacity to capture new data bout the minutiae of complex organizational affairs, as well as offering new forms of dissemination to both academic and professional audiences, little is known about the specific benefits and drawbacks of video diaries.We compare video diaries with two established and 'adjacent' methods: traditional diary studies (written or audio) and other video methods. We evaluate each in relation to three key research areas: bodily expressions, identity, and practice studies.Our assessment of video diaries suggests that the approach is best used as a complement to other forms of research and is particularly suited to capturing plurivocal, asynchronous accounts of organizational phenomena. We use illustrations from an empirical research project to illustrate our claims video diaries before concluding with five points of advice for researchers wishing to employ this method.
