Alternatives to the Movie Sandwich Habit

Instructors often leverage movies in their classroom to illustrate management concepts. Sometimes, instructors fall into the “movie sandwich” habit, which may not allow for a comprehensive mastery of complex concepts. In this article, we define what we mean by “movie sandwich” and provide immersive alternatives to this approach to illustrate power and leadership theories. The two alternative approaches we advocate here are “movie club,” in which students are guided through an interactive discussion outside of class related to topics, and “modified gamification,” in which students are provided objectives and awarded points for showing mastery of concepts illustrated in a movie. These two approaches are demonstrated through practical examples.
