    Greetings, all.

    I will be teaching a class titled Organizational Systems: Theories of Change in the upcoming term.

    Does anyone have any organizational change stories, case studies, simulations, etc. that you have used in a similar class and have found work well with students - grad students in this particular course.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Hi Jeff, we have a book on "The changing organization".
    .Kaijun Guo, Maurice Yolles, Gerhard Fink, Paul Iles (2016), The
    Changing Organization: Agency Theory in a Cross-Cultural Context.
    Cambridge University Press, Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge CB2 8BS, United
    Kingdom, 466 pages. ISBN-13: 978-1107146808 (Hardback).
    Perhaps, theory is of interest, too. Please find attached the pdf.
    Kind regards

    Hi Jeffrey – see the case studies in:

     

    https://www.amazon.com/Managing-Organizational-Change-Multiple-Perspectives/dp/0073530530/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507227931&sr=8-1&keywords=managing+organizational+change+a+multiple+perspectives+approach

     

    This is geared towards grad students, and is based in part on 'what can we learn from stories of change' (chapter 1).  Enjoy.

     

    And good luck with the class!

     

    Best wishes
