Description

Fiction, including novels, plays, and films, could be a powerful force in educating students and employees in ways in which lectures, textbooks, articles, case studies, and other traditional teaching approaches can’t. Works of fiction can address a range of issues and topics, provide detailed real-life descriptions of the organizational contexts through which workers find themselves, and tell interesting, engaging, and memorable stories which are richer and much more likely to stick with the reader or viewer longer than lectures and other teaching approaches. For these reasons, Exploring Capitalist Fiction: Business through Literature and Film analyzes 25 films, novels, and plays that engage the theories, concepts, and issues so much relevant to the business world. Through very important examinations of works such as Atlas Shrugged and Wall Street, Younkins shows how fiction is a powerful teaching tool to sensitize business students without business experience and to coach and train managers in real businesses.
