12 Angry Men

I came across my old notes from Managing Organizations class while I was cleaning up. I found these notes on the movie "12 Angry Men" (Henry Fonda version). I guess I just wanna keep an electronic version of my notes in case I ever watch this movie again with an instructional purpose. As you can see, I'm one of those people who have trouble throwing stuff out.

Architect (Henry Fonda)
Man from Slums (Jack Klugman)
Stock broker with glasses (E G Marshall)
Messenger Service owner (Lee J. Cobb)
Bank Teller (glasses)
House painter (white shirt, no tie)
Salesman (baseball fan)
The old man
Garage owner (with a cold)
Watchmaker (mustache)
Ad man (glasses)
The Foreman (Asst. Coach)

What influence tactics did Fonda use?
* Procedural - written ballot, bank teller, house painter, ad man, foreman, stock broker
* Interpersonal - old man, prejudiced JK, watchmaker, salesman, garage owner, Cobb

What were Fonda's sources of power?
How did his tactics change over time & why?
Who else had power & why? Did this change? If so, why?
List the critical events as they unfolded. Why are these events critical? What purpose did they serve?
Knife, ballot, El noisy, diagram, "I'll kill him", movie title, knife over/under, garage owner tirade, glasses
