THE FILM ALLMAN CASE
Keywords:
HR, OSHA, OBAbstract
The Film Allman Case is the story of a film production company that experienced an accident while filming a project on location in southeast Georgia. Members of the company were a cross-functional team consisting of experienced and junior professionals from across the film industry, led by several senior film managers. Data was taken from official government reports and news sources. The decisions that the film crew made leading up to the accident, as well as the factors that contributed to those decisions, are the focus of this case study.
This case offers students the opportunity to discuss and apply organizational behavior (OB) principles and occupational health safety (OSHA) standards and to evaluate the team’s decision-making process. This is a good case for the midpoint of a semester after students have become familiar with OB and HRM principles.
