    Dear colleagues,

    I'm setting up a course on change management. It's a course for 3rd year undergraduate business students. I am looking for activities, exercises, articles, simulations, cases, etc. that you have found to be effective. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance!

    Kindest regards,

    Golchehreh

    Hi Golchehreh,

    Bill Judge and Linda Hill have a change management simulation that I have played and used in my MBA class.  It offers a number of different scenarios that allows the students to explore appropriate use of various mechanisms to get people "on board" with an organizational change.  It might fit into any discussion of power and influence in a change management class.  I hope it helps and good luck on designing the course.

    Golchehreh,

     

    You have received some great recommendations. The approach I would use would be to take an article on a very current situation (such as the one attached) and examine the changes, their potential consequences, using this company on real time!

     

    Hope this helps!

    A group of Bentley PhD students entered last year's AOM video case competition and submitted a video titled, "Stop the Weather Reports!", which is now on the AOM website at this link:


    It has a change management context and could be a fun way to kick off the course. Also, here is the teaching note that goes with the video case:

    The teaching note also has the direct link to the youtube video. We hope you find this useful for your class.
