Individual essay topic:
Analyze the case of Amazon, as described in the attached report (New York
“What forms of power and control are at work at Amazon?”
“How can we explain the behavior of the employees described in the report?”
“What might be the reasons for the seemingly low levels of resistance at
Amazon?”
In addition, you are also encouraged to reflect on the limitations of some parts of
the course literature on the basis of the report. Your written analysis should draw
exclusively on the literature of seminars 1, 2 and 3.
Your text might follow the classical essay structure (introduction, literature
review, case description, discussion, conclusion) but might also be structured in
alternative ways (however, ideally in a reasonable manner). The main goal
should be to make your analysis and argumentation as insightful, coherent,
convincing and as exciting as possible.
