Assignment task:
Taran Swan at Nickelodeon Latin America (A): Case Questions
1. Describe the culture at Nickelodeon Latin America. Be specific.
2. How did Swan go about building that culture? (Consider the interrelationships among Nickelodeon Latin America's context, team design factors, culture, and outcomes.)
3. How effective is the executive team? (What criteria did you use to evaluate its effectiveness?)
4. Describe Swan's leadership style. What impact has it had on the culture?
5. What are the challenges that Swan faces at the end of the case? What actions should she take? Should she assign an interim director?
To answer these questions effectively, you'll need to draw on the readings about teams, leadership, and culture. You might want to revisit the chapter about organizational culture, Ch. 3, which you read in Week 1; as well as Hackman's article from Week 2.
