The Change Management Simulation: Power and Influence is an individual assignment and an experiential learning activity designed to enhance your learning about managing organizational change.

The assignment is to be completed during our VIRTUAL Class 9. No in-class meeting will be held.
Start by purchasing the Simulation after clicking on the coursepack link. Read the information provided about the Simulation. Select and read at least five (5) references (i.e. articles, books, etc.) from the list entitled: Change Management Simulation: Power and Influence References located in the Class Materials folder on Bb for Class 9. Then play the Simulation while being careful to reflect upon your reading prior to each of your decisions.
After you have completed the Simulation, write a five (5) page paper excluding title page and references, using 12-point font and double-spacing and post it through SafeAssign on Blackboard. You are to cite at least the five (5) references that you read in preparation for playing the Simulation in your paper.
