Enron is theatre.
Making many entrances and exits, between 1985 and 2002, the Enron characters
performed their theatre on a variety of stages. The purpose of "Enron
is Theatre" is to be a resource to faculty and students doing case study
analyses o the rise and collapse of Enron. Theatre is a particularly appropriate
case analysis method, since it allows us to see how the masquerade was accomplished
by various characters. Enron’s dramaturgy is what Boje and Rosile (2002a,
b) call ‘Metatheatre.’ Metatheatre is defined, here, as a multiplicity
of theatres (formal, informal, off and on stage) with starring and supporting
casts of characters who constitute the ‘concentrated’ and ‘diffuse’
spectacles (Debord, 1967) in theatrical performances experienced by employees,
investors, customers and vendors. Enron's Metatheatre ran amuck. For Explorer
