The complications of the film industry through four aspects of complexities that are described in Katherine Miller's book Organizational COmmunication Approaches and Processes: globalization, terrorism, global warming, and changing demographics.
The document discusses when companies should avoid global expansion strategies. It provides examples of companies like Revlon, eBay, Vodafone, Walmart, and Daimler-Benz that failed due to not properly assessing whether globalization made strategic sense or executing effectively. Before going global, companies need to determine if there are potential benefits, whether they have the management skills required, and if costs will outweigh profits to avoid costly mistakes like these companies experienced. Proper planning and localized strategies are essential to succeeding globally.
Globalization and free trade agreements have intensified the "race to the bottom" phenomenon. This occurs when countries deregulate their markets in order to attract investment from multinational corporations, but it often results in lower wages for workers, worse working conditions, and increased environmental damage. Developing nations are particularly vulnerable to exploitation by corporations that push to lower labor and environmental standards. Case studies on industries like textiles in Bangladesh and waste dumping in Africa provide examples of how multinational corporations have taken advantage of weak regulations in developing countries to cut costs at the expense of workers and the environment.

Globalization is the increasing integration and interaction between people, companies, and governments of different nations, driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. It involves the movement of goods, services, capital, people, technology, and ideas across national borders. Key drivers of globalization include developments in transportation and communication technologies as well as the growth of transnational corporations that operate in multiple countries. While globalization has increased economic growth and cultural awareness, it has also widened income inequality and threatened some local cultures and environments.
The document discusses the resurgence of socialism and political realignment in Europe and America. In Europe, center-right and centrist parties lost support while socialists, greens, and nationalists/populists gained. Similarly in America, both political parties have adopted more collectivist economic policies through factions appealing to nationalists, unions, globalist technocrats, and greens. This has weakened the case for free markets and increased support for greater government intervention. The document calls for free market advocates to develop alliances between thinkers and business people to better communicate the benefits of capitalism and risks of socialism.
The document discusses several key issues related to the globalization of media:
1) Ownership of media content has shifted from public to private as viewing habits have moved to private spaces, raising new concerns about regulation and control.
2) The media industry is now dominated by a small number of large multinational conglomerates as national companies need international success to survive.
3) Globalization has led to US domination of many markets and the integration of industries like broadcasting, publishing, and technology across media empires.
Globalization refers to the increasing economic integration and interdependence of nations through trade. As globalization has increased, countries specialize in producing goods they have a comparative advantage in and trade for other goods. Examples include the US importing fruit from Chile and companies like Nike manufacturing shoes in other countries to reduce costs. While globalization allows for lower prices and economic growth, it has also led to issues like outsourcing jobs abroad and unequal conditions for workers in some factories and industries. Views on globalization range from those who see its benefits as inevitable to those concerned it has negative social impacts if not properly managed.

SlideShare #1 - Sherwin Williams & Organizational CommunicationBrian Villwock
Sherwin Williams has introduced new environmentally friendly paints and stains that provide customized features for customers. These products help eliminate bacteria, contaminants, and odors. To address challenges like globalization, terrorism, and climate change, Sherwin Williams uses technology to develop safer products, acquires other companies to expand globally, and reduces emissions from paints. While advancing external communication through social media and apps, Sherwin Williams has not updated internal technologies like order management systems.
The document discusses how Henri Fayol's theory of classical management applies to the film industry. It addresses each element of Fayol's theory - planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling - and shows how they are demonstrated in the industry's hierarchical structure and job roles. The principles of Fayol's theory are also examined, such as unity of command and centralization of power. While the industry remains very classically structured, some aspects like equitable treatment of employees are still imperfect. Overall, the document analyzes how Fayol's foundational management concepts continue to underlie the operations of the film industry today.
The diversity problems in the film industryMatthew Huff
The document discusses the lack of diversity in the film industry, particularly in leadership roles such as producers, directors, and writers. It provides data showing that the vast majority of these roles are held by white males. There is also a lack of diversity among actors and characters. The document argues that a more multicultural approach is needed that integrates minorities and women into all aspects and levels of the film industry in order to reduce discrimination and bias. This could provide benefits such as new perspectives and innovation as well as better representing the diverse population.
The document discusses balancing sales and customer satisfaction in producing expansions for the miniatures game X-Wing. It uses Blake and Mouton's managerial grid, which maps concern for production vs people. A new expansion includes a card needed for a popular squad build but only provides 6 of the 8 required. This forces customers to buy two expansions. The document examines how previous expansions have balanced sales and satisfaction better by providing full card quantities. It suggests third parties now fill niches left by the company's focus on profit.
The document discusses how the movie industry influences socialization and gender roles. It explains that movies constantly present gender roles to viewers from a young age, showing girls in nurturing roles and boys in active roles. This socializes children into thinking these are the only acceptable ways to behave. Additionally, movies can manipulate viewers' opinions by making certain governments or ideologies seem favorable. However, others argue movies are just entertainment, even if the frequent themes of love, crime, and violence desensitize audiences and normalize exaggerated situations. The mass reach of movies allows ideas to be shared but also for misinterpretation, as movies cannot respond to clarify their messages.
Netflix reinvented its human resources practices to focus on hiring only top talent ("A" players), providing candid performance feedback, empowering managers to build great teams, and cultivating a collaborative company culture. Netflix eliminated formal performance reviews in favor of ongoing, informal feedback conversations. The results were five human resources principles: hire fully formed adults, tell the truth about performance, make teams a top priority, cultivate culture from the top, and think like innovators rather than traditional HR. This led Netflix to thrive despite major business model changes.
The document discusses diversity in the healthcare industry from the perspective of millennials. Millennials define diversity more broadly than just race and gender to include life experiences and choices. However, diversity is still lacking in healthcare leadership which does not reflect the diverse patient population. As millennials make up more of the workforce, they will demand greater diversity that includes various backgrounds and perspectives to better serve all communities.
This document is a literature review from a dissertation submitted by Vihan Chelliah in partial fulfillment of a B.A (Hons.) Communications degree. The literature review examines academic works discussing Hollywood's business practices that have led some to view it as risk-averse. It explores how the film industry relies on ancillary markets, company diversification through expansion and mergers/acquisitions, and blockbuster films/franchises to minimize risk given the unpredictable nature of the cultural products it produces. Scholars are cited discussing how these strategies have both positive and negative impacts on the types of films produced and Hollywood's focus on profit.
This document discusses the globalization of the visual effects (VFX) industry through an analysis of the film Life of Pi and the VFX studio Rhythm & Hues. It notes that Life of Pi relied heavily on computer-generated imagery produced by Rhythm & Hues, which won an Oscar for its VFX work, even as the studio was declaring bankruptcy. The document examines how the VFX industry's reliance on global outsourcing and tax incentives has led to deteriorating working conditions and a "race to the bottom" for VFX artists. It calls for policy changes and labor organizing to address these challenges.
Here are some potential pros and cons of digital film piracy from the perspectives of institutions and audiences:
Cons for institutions:
- Loss of revenue from lost sales/rentals of legitimate copies
- Difficulty in enforcing copyright in the digital world
- Threat to traditional business models of production and distribution
Pros for audiences:
- Increased access to films for free or low cost
- Ability to sample films before purchasing
- Convenience of digital copies that can be accessed anywhere
However, piracy also poses challenges for the long-term sustainability of the creative industries. Overall, there are reasonable arguments on both sides of this complex issue.

Emerging Nollywood Digital Economy versus Technological Maladjustment: An Imp...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Nollywood as an emerging film industry has arguably become the most influential in Africa. It
is reputed to be one of the most visible sources of cultural production in the African continent. Currently,one of
the most prominent discussions about Nollywood revolves around technological innovations in the industry
including as related to the media of dissemination of the movies produced in the industry. The industry has over
the years evolved from the era of VHS tape to that of VCD/DVD, and ultimately to the era of digital distribution
and consumption of films. This current era is bringing about a Nollywood digital economy where movies are
sold and bought online, which helps to circumvent the perennial challenges of piracy and high marketing cost
that has over the years burdened the industry. However, while the technological innovation is laudable, the
possibility of technological maladjustments especially among the older generation consumers may hinder the
extent of penetration of this new digital culture, thus limiting the gains the industry could make from it.
Anchored on the Diffusion of Innovations Theory, the study was designed as a qualitative study and adopted
Focus Group Discussion as its method of data collection to easily to evaluate the extent technological
maladjustment may have hindered audience participation in the emerging Nollywooddigital market. Eighteen
respondents were involved in the FGD sessions. Major finding of the study indicate that respondents mostly
among the older generation experience difficulty adjusting to the new technological environment as regards to
trading and viewing movies which to a little extent negatively impacts the emerging digital economy which
Nollywood is becoming as the audience affected by the maladjustment are in the minority. The study therefore
recommends among others the need for Nollywood stakeholders to continually create awareness on the various
technological advancements it embarks on to encourage movie consumers to readily adjust to change in terms of
viewing, downloading and trading nollywood movies.
KEY WORDS: Digital Economy, Nollywood Movies, Technological Maladjustment
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnection of countries through trade, communication and culture. Advances in transportation and telecommunication infrastructure, particularly the internet, have facilitated the globalization process. Globalization in the film industry has led Hollywood films to dominate box offices worldwide, though some local film industries have persisted. However, critics argue that globalization does not necessarily lead to complete cultural homogenization, as local audiences interpret foreign media through the lens of their own culture.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. The Complexity Of The
Film Industry
Organizational Communication is full of “Complexities”that
surround us in our daily lives, most of which involve industries and the
way they communicate with each other and the people that run them, work
at them, and communicate individually through them.
While there are limitless organizations all creative in their own individual way, the film industry
has been something i’ve been wanting to talk about in terms of global communication. In the
twenty first century, with advanced technology and faster ways to communicate there has been a
couple complications that have been discussed recently, they are: globalization, terrorism,
climate change and changing demographics. Throughout the slideshow i’ll be relating them to
the film industry (since that is my career path and my primary focus) and to Katherine Miller’s
book Organizational Communication.
3. The complications of
globalization in the film
industry
Outsourcing is part of what happens to
the film industry on a global scale, it’s
cheaper to produce, film, and score
movies out of the United States and as
Hollywood, Bollywood, and Europe
progress they also turn to globalization,
which can cause major problems for
jobs opportunites, pay, as well as
communication.
A good example of this is organizations
in Hollywood, which in recent years has
had a very serious problem with
outsourcing community jobs to other
countries.
VARIETY CHELSEA GUGLIELMINO/GETTY IMAGES
4. The outsourcing of film
scores in Los Angeles
“The movement has led to practices such as outsourcing in which businesses move manufacturing
and services to countries where labor is cheap” (Miller 3).
As Los Angeles musicians fight organizations LionsGate Entertainment, Disney, Universal Studios,
and Warner Bros for outsourcing jobs and leading them jobless, the film industry increases their
savings. The scoring helped musicians keep jobs and support themselves and without film scoring,
jobs and money have diminished in Los Angeles, which leads to a question a person might ask. Does
globalization always lead to only complications? No. There are many ways that globalization helps
the rest of the international film industry, but with increasing globalization, comes more increasing
complexities and problems. (Richard, “Musicians implore Hollywood to stop scoring films overseas”).
5. Benefits of globalization
While there are various benefits of globalization in
the film industry some of the main benefits are:
● Increasing revenue for the film industry as a
whole globally through different foreign and
non-foreign industries.
● Allowing the spread of culture through
organizations by different diversities.
● Increasing the flow of foreign films and
opportunities for entrepreneurs to build new
Art industries through expanded globalization.
6. Wrap Up On Globalization
While there is great benefits of globalization that furthers organizations and creates better
opportunities for the industry, there are still problems that will arise from increased
globalization. Katherine Miller states,
“It becomes clear from all sides of the debate that our new world involves complex
interconnections between businesses, make it difficult to fully understand the
ramifications of both globalizations systems and the proposed means of making
organizations “work” effectively” (Miller 3).
7. The complications of
terrorism in the film
industry
After the twin tower attacks in September 11,
2001 America and Europe stepped up their
security and protocols for Organizations. It was
never a problem before the attack, but it’s been
recently a heightened complication and is full
of complex problems both politically, culturally,
and in a sense individually. Over the past three
years there has been acts of Terrorism all over
the world, some of which have lacked the
security and protocols needed for such a threat.
The film industry has had a major problem with
terrorist threat after a mass shooting in a
Cinemark theater in Summer of 2012, and with
that said, security has intensified and
strategies have been placed on executives,
managers, and employees.

8. Heightening of security in
the film industry Cannes
Film Festival 2016
Just recently the paris attacks have led
the film industry to tighten up on
security procedures and teach managers
and employees on how to react to a
terrorist threat, whether it be actual
organized terrorists, or a massacre with
one lone shooter. Five hundred, yes FIVE
HUNDRED personnel were hired to
secure and protect this year's 2016
Cannes Film Festival which has attracted
over 200,000 attendees.
Cannes’s mayor says the heightened security is in place owing to the reality of a possible
attack and to limit the risk. Photograph: Buckner/Variety/Rex Shutterstock
9. The now censorship of
radical depictions in the
film industry
Recently organizations have been denying radical films depicting anything with bombs,
explosives, or other acts of radicalization. Terrorism hurts the film industry and despite great
strengths in terrorism prevention (which is a great thing) there is going to be a destructive drop
in radicalized films, films with freedom and corruption, and even your standard action film will
begin to minimize. This will affect film organizations throughout below and above the line jobs
and internationally it will feel like the screenwriters freedom, will be lessened because of the
producers and executives morals, ideas, and assumptions.
Henry Barnes, a writer for theguardian states that, “The programme's lack of films that tackle
the contemporary issues of Terrorism and religious content as been seen by some as a concerted
attempt to avoid any tension” (Barnes, “Cannes remains vigilant as festival opens amid fears of
terror attack”).
10. Wrap-up of Terrorism in
the film industry
While terrorism strengthens organizations by adding extra security and training people in
terrorism prevention programs and protocols, terrorism will always be bad. There is no benefits,
just complications and complex problems politically, individually, and culturally.
“Homeland security is not a television show about mysterious government agencies, covert
military units, or heroes with fantastic cell phones that summon F-16’s it is an ongoing
construction project that builds upon philosophy and strategy to ensure effective organization,
establish rules and procedures, deploy new technology, and educate a fast army of federal agents,
local police, part-time soldiers, private security guards, first responders, medical personnel,
public health officials, and individual citizens. (miller 6)
11. The complications of
climate change in the film
industry
Theconversation Mad Max Dune Destruction of habitat
While there is complications in climate change and
pollution through big industrial organizations, as
well as agricultural industries, film is just the
same. The destruction of natural habitat happens
constantly through production and over time can
lead to a major ecosystem being destroyed.
12. Pirate Pollution
Not only is the pollution from a day small set, there are
bigger problems with the film industry destroying and
polluting. The picture on the left shows a cleared field
awaiting building for Pirates Of The Caribbean. The
right shows what was built and will soon (after
production) be demolished. This leads to soil erosion
and emission of Greenhouse Gases. So overall location
building from film organizations can be extreme hazard
to the environment and habitat around it.
Guy Castley from Griffith University states, “Urban
development is another land use that affects the natural
environment. Residential expansion to accommodate
burgeoning human populations often removes wildlife
habitat” (Castley, Eats shoots and leaves: what the film
industry does to ‘location). Theconversation destruction of habitat from building Pirates Of The
Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales coming out in 2017.
13. Popular Location ruining
the environment
While the film industry constantly builds upon ecosystems and film culture becomes increasingly
popular, there is one last thing that brings harm to the ecosystem because of film organizations,
tourism. While tourism is common and towns, cities, and businesses grow of it, it can also be
somewhat of a problem for the ecosystems, habitats, and surrounding areas.
● Tourists can pollute the areas of famous scenes and sets where actors have been or have
played a role in.
● Tourists can increase popularity to the location where scenes or sets where, which can
increase waste and make it a hazard for the already destroyed habitat because of the set
building.
● Lastly, popularity to the area could increase growth around these natural habitats leading to
an increase in suburban building and construction of outlets and stores.
14. Wrap-up of climate
change in the film industry
While Katherine Miller briefly explains that climate change is do to human contribution to
pollution in Organizational Communication Approaches and Processes, the film industry shows that
with the work of building an organization that gives people jobs and entertainment, there is also
a pollution of wildlife habitats and ecosystems.
So the question is, does every organization contribute to global warming and pollution? Yes,
every organization contributes to the problems of pollution whether it be contributing to
greenhouse gases, buying paper, building sets, or even just using light pollution.
15. The complications of
changing demographics in
the film industry
npr hollywood sign - the demographic problems in the film industry
As changing demographics make up a large
part of important information for
organizations, film and television is one of
the most important. Statistics and audience
samples are gathered to see how good a
show is running or what kind of people are
seeing your movie. These ideas can help
improve shows and even be the judge of
cancellation. While is is one benefit for the
film and television industry, there is also a
huge diversity problem.
16. The diversity problem of the
film industry
Miller states, “The United States Is anticipated to be a “majority minority” nation by 2050”
(Miller, 8).
While this is a great thing and the United States is certainly changing it’s ways and accepting and expanding, there
are quite a few industries that are still stuck in the past and film is one of them.
A study tested by the University of Southern California has found that out of 21,000 characters and crew members
on sets on over 400 films there were only :
● 33.5 percent of speaking female roles
● 28.3 percent of the dialogue was from non white actors
● 3.4 percent of directors are female in the film industry
● 17 percent are female in the television industry
● Women over 40 were deemed largely “invisible”
● 2 percent of the actors in film and television are gay, lesbian, or bisexual.
● 7 percent of behind the scenes crew were cast thats race and ethnicity reflected the country’s diversity.
(Deggans, “Hollywood Has A Major Diversity Problem, USC Study Finds”).
17. The diversity problem of
the film industry Cont.
What will have to happen at some point, is the film industry will have to conform to the new
changes of diversity. Only time and fighting for racial rights in the film industry will there begin to
be a change to the way colored actors are represented and viewed.
Miller states, “Changing demographics also pose the challenge of treating individuals from
different ethnic backgrounds, races, ages, genders, disabilities, and sexual orientations in ways
that respect these differences and create opportunities for meeting both individual and
organizational goals.” (Miller, 10).
Miller’s quote shows that organizations have a challenge to have a balanced amount of diversity in
the workplace, but with that said the film industry sort of neglects diversity and hires whites to
play major colored roles, especially over Hispanic actors. This leads a problem of low inclusion in
the workplace (even behind the scenes) and can lead to unfair pay, treatment, and respect.
18. Sampling and measurement
of the film and television
industry
Entertainment.howstuffworks family watches television, but
does not know that they are also being measured.
There is just problems of demographics, there are also
some great benefits. Nielsen (a statistical sampling
company that rates and produces research on
audiences through demographics) produces jobs for
the film industries through audience research and
statistical analysis, demographics can also provide the
information necessary to boost ratings, to see what
kind of people are watching the shows and films, and
give a view of what needs to come later if they want to
keep the show running.
Howstuffworks states, “a “black Box” which is a computer and
modem, gathers and sends all this information to the
company’s central computer every night. Then by monitoring
what is on TV at any given time, the company is able to keep
track of how many watch the program” (Howstuffworks, dow
do television ratings work?)
19. Wrap-up of diversity in the
film industry
While there major problems in film organizations with diversity and changing demographics there
can always be a beneficial measure to films and television as well. The industry needs to fix its
inclusion problems and start getting more diversity in the mix. The beneficial measures of
audiences and sampling to produce information on their gender, race, culture, and age to produce a
list of ratings with various outcomes. With more information a show can then decide what they
need to improve on and or what needs to be cut out. Employees also play a major role in the
diversity of behind the scenes pre-production, production, post product, and even distribution, so
with the help of a diverse group of people, there is in turn a more culturally diverse workplace.
20. Conclusion
While there is some great benefits to the film industry there are also some major problems that
need to be addressed. Film organizations have bunch of complications and complexities that need
to be managed through communication of workers and even the audience.
So what can be changed? Well there is many ways of preventing terrorism, making a diverse
workplace, thinking of alternatives for sets, and preventing extreme globalization so you keep jobs
in your country. The step is to just communicate correctly and fix these problems and figure out
how to make the benefits increase.
“It is important,though, to consider the ways in which our thinking about organizational
communication can best facilitate our ability to make a difference in today’s world” (Miller,11).
