Abstract:

This case is about the unique organization culture at Pixar Animation Studio (Pixar). Many analysts attributed Pixar's success to its unique culture marked by an informal approach toward work and its Human Resource (HR) policies that built a motivated and loyal employee base.

The case highlights the company's hands-off management style coupled with an craftsman-like nurturing of the creative process, which helped it become a benchmark against which the rest of the industry measured itself.

The case also discusses the cultural and HR management implications to Pixar as a result of it having being acquired by The Walt Disney Company.
