About this Item

Title

  • 1104 Sutton Road

Summary

  • Dramatized incidents and a split-screen technique are used to present the different perspectives of Adam Hathaway, a dissatisfied factory worker, as he looks at productivity through the eyes of a husband, a worker, a foreman, and president of his company. Adam learns that every employee, regardless of position, must be productive to succeed. Emphasis is placed on improving personal relations and communications in the workplace to achieve a common goal. 1104 Sutton Road points out that productivity grows out of ingenuity, not longer hours, and it begins in the board room by finding ways to create an atmosphere that makes productivity grow and flourish.
