Dear Deirdre,
Human Relations recently published a virtual special issue on Change Management containing seven papers that your students might find interesting: http://hum.sagepub.com/site/misc/VSI/Change_Management/CM_VSI.xhtml
The introduction to the virtual issue below explains the content:
This virtual special issue brings together a range of papers in the journal on the management of change. The particular inspiration is the paper by Cummings et al. (2015), which revisits the famous paper by Lewin (1947), published in the first issue of the journal, and demonstrates that the many popularisations of Lewin around a three-step model miss much of what was in fact said. We accordingly include the original Lewin paper. Two other papers, by Cooke (2007) and by Burnes and Cooke (2012), offer complementary accounts of the history of management ideas. Such analyses in fact represent something of a tradition in the journal. Almost as famous as Lewin is the Coch and French paper (1948) on overcoming resistance to change. Two later reassessments (Gardner, 1977 and Bartlem and Locke, 1981) demonstrate the many errors in Coch and French and show just how the paper needs to be viewed.
The present virtual special issue includes three other papers. We include two by Elliott Jaques (1950, 1953), to illustrate a rather different take on change management from that offered by Lewin, and also to remind readers of the celebrated Glacier Project, from which many important papers were published during the 1950s. Finally, Hendry's (1996) paper illustrates an arguably much more sophisticated analysis of change than that offered by Lewin, and thus development in a field of inquiry over a 50-year period.

Several included papers are Classic Papers and are free to access.
We will be publishing a free access vodcast to accompany the Cummings et al. article in the next week or so.

Subject: [OB-LIST] Change management course help
I am developing an undergrad 300 level course on change leadership/management. Any syllabus or suggestions on readings would be helpful. I will be happy to compile and share with all at the end. I am interested also in including entrepreneurship in the class. Thanks for any help.
