Getting behind the Scenes of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours": Using a Documentary on the Making of a Music Album to Learn about Task Groups
Comer, Debra R.; Holbrook, Robert L., Jr.
Journal of Management Education, v36 n4 p544-567 Aug 2012
The authors present an efficient and easy-to-implement experiential exercise that reinforces for students key concepts about task groups (i.e., group cohesiveness, conflict within groups, group effectiveness, group norms, and group roles). The exercise, which uses a documentary about the making of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" album to demonstrate the complexity of an ongoing group that created a high-caliber product even in the face of substantial interpersonal issues, combines film and music in a new way in the management classroom. (Contains 1 table and 4 notes.)
