organizational change. Organizations are groups whose members coordinate their behaviors in order to accomplish a shared goal. They can
be found nearly everywhere in today’s society: universities, start-ups, classrooms, hospitals, non-profits, government bureaus, corporations,
restaurants, grocery stores, and professional associations are some of many examples of organizations. Organizations are as varied and
complex as they are ubiquitous: they differ in size and internal structure; they can entail a multiplicity of goals and tasks (som...

This course expanded my thought process beyond organizational change. Organizational creation and stability are now included in my engagement model. Thank you Professor McFarland, team and partners.

This course provides in-depth analyses of a host of organizational theories and their application in real life. The dissection of each case and the applicability of the theories are really insightful.

iIt's an outdated course. Power points are too bookish. Require reforming of questions. You can not just put a sentence from your lecture, keep a word in vacant and ask for the correct answer.

I find this course very interesting and beneficial but the final questions were too much, I had a really hard time to remember.

Amazing content although not dynamic which makes it difficult to follow during 11 weeks. The final exam is too long.

Good content for those new to the field.

Old videos, references, etc.

Poorly written final exam.

A good introduction for beginners, more corporate case studies would have been better.

This course did not meet expectations. The content was delivered in a dry and outdated way. As someone working in a company, I unfortunately was not able to take much out that would be applicable in my day to day life. The case examples and a lot of the content seemed to be geared towards the public sector (schools, government, etc.). Compared to other courses, this was not engaging or delivered in an exciting way, to have the presenter in the corner and very copy/content heavy slides did not match my expectations from other courses. It seemed this was created several years ago and has not been updated or could provide more business related examples. I highly recommend updating the course description to be more reflective of content and who should take the course. And for Standford, to consider updating the content or presenting the material in a more interactive and engaging way.

Muy largo y no es muy bueno

Lack simplicity.

Unnecessarily extends too much.

Multiple answers with too much options confuses

Case studies should be kept minimal could have included simple graphical illustrations instead of tables with complicated probability theories.
