Read
the following passage carefully and answer questions from 5 to 10:
Many aspects of the motion-picture industry
and its constituent companies are dissimilar to those observable in
advanced-technology industries and firms. For instance, company longevity does
not represent a consistent concern across the two organisational contexts. In
the advanced-technology company for example, one new-product innovation – which
is expected to generate financial returns to the firm – is insufficient for the
company to be successful.
Rather, a stream of new product innovations
is required. By contrast with the independent production company of this case,
each new film – which is expected to generate financial returns to the
principals – is sufficient for the company to be successful. Any subsequent new
films involving the firm’s participants will be produced by a different
independent company.
As another instance, people’s learning is
expected to have different contributors and beneficiaries across the two
organizational contexts. In the advanced-technology company, for example, each
new product innovation provides an opportunity for participants on the project team
to learn and acquire experience, and this same company intends to retain such
participants, hence, benefit from their increased experience on the next
project. By contrast with the independent production company, each new film
provides an opportunity for participants on the project team to learn and
acquire this experience also, but this same company has little or no expectation
of retaining such participants, and hence, benefitting from their increased experience
in the next project.
Experience is paramount in the motion-picture
industry. Generally, on film projects, budgets are very tight, and schedules
are very demanding. People are hired largely based on their experience and are
expected to perform well immediately when called to do so. There is negligible
slack time or margin for learning through trial and error, but experienced
people learn exactly through trial and error. Because experience is valued so
highly and film-production houses have such short time horizons, entry into the
industry is very difficult for most people. Further, the role played by schools
and colleges is minimal in this industry. Some skills and techniques can be
learned and refined through formal education (e.g., acting schools, theatre, film
degrees), but the majority come through direct experience. Mentoring plays an
important role. True, the film business focuses heavily on exploitation over
exploration. Yet success of the industry as a whole is critically dependent
upon learning and exploration overtime.
