Contents

In the business simulation game "Change Management", students deal with the challenges of organizational change processes. They learn to analyze change situations, to act strategically, and to critically reflect upon different change management practices. The base is a software-based simulation of an organization that faces a structural change. The students guide this organization from the perspective of a change agent, develop a strategic intervention design, and take actions in order to lead the characters of the game to accept and successfully conduct the change process. The transition should be promoted as far as possible in five phases.
