『悪役』から学ぶ経営戦略

Definition and Role of 'Villains'

Narrative Antagonists

Villains are essential in stories as they oppose the protagonists, heightening the narrative tension.

Emotional Stimulation

The presence of villains evokes strong emotions such as disgust, fear, and aversion in the audience, deepening their immersion in the story.

The Aesthetics of Defeat

By being defeated by the protagonist, the negative emotions stirred are resolved, creating a sense of pleasure.

Fundamentals of Evil Organization Management Strategy

Top-down Command by a Strong Leader

Manga 1

Evil organizations invariably have a leader with a strong personality and leadership skills. Instructions are primarily given directly by this leader, and questioning these orders is not permitted for lower-level members. Therefore, decision-making is disproportionately fast considering the size of the organization.

Simple and Clear Goal Setting

Manga 2

The goal setting of evil organizations is extremely clear. 'Conquer the world,' 'steal money,' 'annihilate humanity' are typical objectives, always straightforward. This clarity ensures that even the rank-and-file members understand the organization’s purpose, preventing any deviation in their actions.

Risk Management through Rigorous Secrecy

Manga 3

On the other hand, a characteristic of evil organizations is their thorough commitment to secrecy, ensuring no weaknesses are shown to rival groups. They do not disclose the addresses of their headquarters or branches, maintain opaque financial situations, and some even keep the leader’s appearance hidden from their members as a strict measure against information leakage.
