BUSINESS LESSONS from 10
Hit Comedy-Drama series, Orange is The New Black, 
follows the lives and stories of women inmates 
at Litchfield Federal Penitentiary. 
This show is rated 
TV-MA 
Some content in this 
presentation may not be 
suitable for children.
WARNING: 
Spoiler Alert ! 
As they serve their time, the women’s entrepreneurial spirits 
shine through. Here are some lessons we can learn from 
their “business ventures” and interactions with each other.
Lesson 1: 
Communication
Prior to her incarceration for involvement 
with the mafia, Red ran a popular neighborhood 
restaurant called Dmitri’s.
While serving time, she relies on her family to 
keep up business. However, without consistent 
communication with them, Dmitri’s is shut down.
You can’t successfully run 
a small business 
remotely 
- 
unless you have 
Great 
Communication 
with your team.
Lesson 2: 
Research
Gloria is new Master Chef of Litchfield’s 
kitchen. When she meets new inmate Vee, 
she makes a deal: Bake a chocolate cake 
in exchange for cigarettes.
Gloria falls for the crooked trade since 
she did not do more research on Vee, 
and ends up with stale cigarettes.
Research 
your Supplier, 
or you may get screwed.
Lesson 3: 
Investor Appeal
Red no longer has her 
kitchen, but she finds a 
new place of business, 
the abandoned greenhouse!
By appealing to the deputy administrator’s green thumb, 
she is allowed to revamp the space to her liking.
Try to appeal 
to investors that 
“Get” you.
Lesson 4: 
Competition
Red attempts to get rid of Vee, 
but can’t go through with it. 
Vee then asks for a truce.
Red trusts Vee’s word too 
easily and is double crossed, 
leaving her seriously injured.
don’t 
underestimate 
your competition.
Lesson 5: 
Networking
Piper lets her ex-girlfriend, Alex, 
back into her life, but is later betrayed 
by Alex when she goes on trial.
Vause is released from 
her sentence while 
Chapman gets left behind.
be careful 
about who you let into 
YOUR network!
Lesson 6: 
Relations 
Workplace
Red wins over the elderly 
clique and eventually her 
old clique by offering 
them something more than 
just material rewards. 
Vee gains power 
with her clique, 
through intimidation 
and manipulation.
In the end, Red’s clique remains loyal, while Vee’s 
clique realizes her true motives and ice her out.
A symbiotic 
BOSS/EMPLOYEE RAPPORT 
boosts 
productivity.
Lesson 7: 
First 
Impressions
Taystee is determined to 
win at the Mock Job Fair. 
She prepares by doing lots of 
research and taking the time 
to choose appropriate attire.
With her ambition and professional 
attitude, Taystee is able to 
distinguish herself from other 
candidates and shine.
It’s all about 
a good 
making 
impression 
first
Lesson 8: 
Branding
Taystee used to deal drugs for Vee. In order to further 
set their product apart from others in the market, 
she suggests using a unique stamp and name.
“Horsey-Horse, get it?! 
Because heroin is called horse! 
Before you know it, 
you’ve got a call brand! ”
Unique branding 
stands out 
among your 
target audience.
Lesson 9: 
Privacy
Vee takes advantage of Suzanne, 
an inmate with a history of mental problems.
Vee manipulates Suzanne so much that Suzanne is 
convinced that she committed a serious crime that left 
another inmate, Vee’s nemesis, seriously injured.
is Dead 
Only Two 
can keep 
a secret… 
if one of them
Lesson 10: 
Financial Control
As Assistant Warden, Figueroa seemed to have a limitless 
budget when it came to certain personal expenses.
She is caught by Piper and confronted by the deputy 
administrator for embezzlement. Her only choice is to resign.
Pay attention 
to your 
company’s 
expenditures
RECAP 
Have GREAT COMMUNICATION with your team 
RESEARCH your suppliers 
Appeal to investors that “GET”you 
DON’T UNDERESTIMATE your competition 
Be careful who you let into your NETWORK 
Good Boss/Employee rapport BOOSTS PRODUCTIVITY 
Make a good FIRST IMPRESSION 
UNIQUE BRANDING sets you apart from the rest 
BE CAREFUL with whom you SHARE sensitive information with 
PAY ATTENTION to your company’s EXPENDITURES
