| Popis | To understand organizational culture of Prague film production and its changes after the end of the communist regime, the best focus seems to be on film producers and production managers. Film producer as a profession didn’t exist during the socialist era. Instead, semi-autonomous “production units” worked within state-owned film studios with limited but secure budgets. Within the post-socialist production world of Prague, the profession of producer and production manager had to be created anew, mostly by capturing knowledge from foreign productions. Foreign incoming producers became key human carriers of tacit, embedded organizational knowledge, which can be externalized during cultural clashes and internalized by direct observation and imitation on the set. In this paper I attempt to reconsider current theories of globalization of film production and propose a preliminary outline for transnational production studies which would shift away from the prevailing American-centric perspective and focus more directly on mediation processes within global production networks, and on mutual learning and career patterns within transnational production cultures. |
