#2 (Milgram), #7 (Stanford Prison), and #19 (Shock the Puppy) are all mentioned in Phil Zimbardo's just-published book, The Lucifer Effect. It's fascinating reading - he gives the blow-by-blow on the Stanford Prison Experiment, including some of his notes that didn't make it into the popular press treatment.
While Milgram's experiment sheds light on war-time atrocities, maybe it also sheds light on why large companies work. If employees were more independent and more frequently disobeyed their bosses, perhaps there would be too much conflict and companies would struggle.
