I watched Fierce Creatures yesterday evening and it is a great movie about management and stuff you can learn in B-school (return on investment, leadership, motivation theory, family business and succession, marketing & strategy...). I hadn't seen this movie in a while and there is a great moment with a very funny line which I had not noticed before. Doing an MBA has certainly made me more receptive (that's a very Jedi comment ;).
Bugsy (played by Michael Palin), who has all the qualities to join a French union, never shuts up in the movie. As it really gets on the nerve of Vince McCain (Kevin Kline), he tries everything he can to make him shut up. Ultimately, he gets a gun and point it to Bugsy who just adds: "What's this, the latest Harvard Business School technique?"
I guess, this is pre-Enron "no Ethics" MBA stuff that we aren't taught anymore...
