They touch upon the opportunities that are presented to Mark, the moral dilemmas he faces and the challenges Facebook has to overcome.

Andi, Bahrije, Brezona and Eldena analyze the work flow in the control room of the organization (Riley’s brain) to see what Belbin’s team role does each of the emotions (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust) play when going through this major change.
