12 Angry Men Organizational Change
12 Angry Men Organizational Change
In the movie, “12 Angry Men”, we see that organizational change affected the jurors greatly throughout the movie. In respect to the movie, organizational change means the change of the environment for the people within it. Thus, we see a change in the environment as the movie progresses in the storyline. Transaction Cost Theory and Resistance to Change explains the juror atmosphere of being so certain in judging the accused as "guilty" to shifting this belief to "not guilty.”
In the beginning of the movie, the 11 of the 12 jurors have no “reasonable doubt” that the accused was guilty. This generated much disdain when 1 out of the 12 jurors had a very slight “reasonable doubt” in the accused. That one juror will have to convince his peers that there is a possibility of “reasonable doubt” that the crime was done by the accused. This is the premise of the movie that will be analyzed in this paper. Throughout the paper, we will also be able to conclude that the relationship of transaction cost and resistance to change are often times linked together in many situations that occur when changes exist.
Furthermore, I will be utilizing a video clip from the "Big Bang Theory" pilot episode (Lorre). This video clip describes Sheldon, a tenant of the apartment room, finding Penny, a next door neighbor and love interest of his roommate Leonard, sitting in his spot on the couch. Sheldon begins to explain how and why it is his spot. Penny could not see why Sheldon could not sit anywhere else in the room. Leonard, Sheldon 's roommate, clearly does not want Penny to leave, and insists that Sheldon find a new spot to sit in. Sheldon, with much reluctance, analyzes each spot to sit in and eventually decides to sit next to Penny. Sheldon feigns his like of the new spot when clearly he does not. This scenario will be a supplementary example to illustrate Transaction Cost Theory and Resistance to Change as it these aspects are
