My previous Netflix rental was explicitly about business. My most recent watch, which I saw last night, was explicitly about post-war Poland... but implicitly about business. Go figure!
Krzysztof Kieslowski's 1976 film The Scar touches on a lot of serious business issues: The impact a new business can have on a community, involving community members in business development projects, paying attention to the needs of employees, the importance of leadership -- and finding yourself in a situation where you're being set up to fail -- social responsibility, and the impact your work can have on your family life.
It's subtitled, and a subtle cross between the Apprentice and the Corporation, with a little social revolution thrown in.
Worth a rental.

wonderful idea. I can't think of a corporation I've worked for that hadn't thought of "the needs of the employees" more in the realm of throwing raw meat at the hungry lions to keep them at bay, than a partnership of staffers with management and line employees.
But, then again, in the hotel industry, maybe that's just their thought processes.
