Business in Film

Catalog description

Consistent with a Jesuit education’s focus on discernment and ethics, notable and impactful films (documentary and drama) centrally focused on business will stimulate the student’s thinking around broad societal issues as well as personal questions of choices and values. Films will be selected from the 1980’s through the present, allowing students to develop a historical context for understanding business themes and ethical considerations. This is an interdisciplinary course with films connecting with various aspects of business including finance, HR, marketing, leadership, selling, economics, and public policy. Weekly reflection papers will encourage students to deeply engage with key themes from the films and relate these themes to their future professional and personal life.
