The position where Sony Pictures are in for the movie "The Interview," is a great opportunity for us to see how crisis management is going to be applied and how good of a manager they have.
Sony Pictures is getting cyber hacked and receiving threats of violence. Apparently from the North Korea. Interesting way to put your company into crisis. Start a fight with a country.
Okay, it is a great way to manage crisis when you make sure you have a relationship with someone with power like "the president." (read the article). However, in this case I don't known what will help. "I wish they have spoken to me." So president Obama says. And what would you say? "Don't DO IT!" Why did not anyone think this was a bad idea? (it may be a fun idea).
Does Sony Pictures have a higher purpose in producing this movie?
Because there is a difference between making fun of some historical individual who passed away and involving people who is still alive that is in great power. Especially, when they are seen equivalent to "God" in their country.
On the other hand if it does get publish it is a great insult to North Korea and if it does go public in North Korea it can significantly shave off the power of dictatorship because they are no longer "untouchable." Saying or doing the taboo is powerful. Romanian Revolution started with anonymous crowd booing, so if this is the right timing the movie can work as a "boo" too.
Either way it is an interesting psychological "war" an individual company began with another country.
