Abstract:
|
This case is about the unique organization culture at Pixar Animation
Studio (Pixar). Many analysts attributed Pixar's success to its unique
culture marked by an informal approach toward work and its Human
Resource (HR) policies that built a motivated and loyal employee base.
The case highlights the company's hands-off management style coupled
with an craftsman-like nurturing of the creative process, which helped it
become a benchmark against which the rest of the industry measured
itself.
The case also discusses the cultural and HR management
implications to Pixar as a result of it having being acquired by The
Walt Disney Company.
