Instructions
If you enjoy watching movies, more than likely you already analyze scenes, narrative, and plot, without even noticing it. The objective of this assignment is to engage you to think about your thinking – this is called ‘critical thinking’ – in context of what you have learned throughout the course. At a time of your choosing, you will watch a documentary titled Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.

The documentary has received critical reviews for its expose on one of the largest business scandals in North American history. Your job will be to provide a critical film analysis – this refers to a reflective form of writing in which the author (you) evaluates or critiques the work of another person. In this assignment you are conducting a critique of the Enron Corporation. The aim of writing a critical analysis is to enhance your understanding of the film and make connection(s) to theory and practice. It is important to note that critical analysis of a film is different from a movie review. A movie review is just about watching a film passively while a critical analysis entails engaging on a level that surpasses mere storytelling.
After you introduce the topic of your critique and outline your essay (150 words), you will provide an overview of the Enron scandal that eventually led to the bankruptcy of the organization (250 words). Then, you will reflect on your reaction(s) to the events that took place within the company as depicted in the documentary (350 words). Share your opinion. What surprised you? How do you feel about what took place in Enron? Were there any scenes or case facts that stood out as being critical? Do you agree/disagree with a decision (or decisions) that Kenneth Lay, Jeffrey Skilling, Andrew Fastow, and/or Rebecca Mark-Jusbasche made? Why or why not? Do not be afraid to reflect in first-person writing style.
Be prepared to clearly pair your analysis with at least two supporting concepts, theories, or principles that we have discussed or are featured in the textbook (350 words). For example, Enron used deceptive accounting practices such as the mark-to-market (MTM) method to hide the fact they were near financial collapse. This predated International Financial Reporting Standards but underscored their value in standardizing an organization’s financial position. To further lend support to your arguments, it is expected that you use at least five sources of scholarly research. Finally, write a conclusion that summarizes your arguments and leave a lasting impression (150 words).
