| Abstract: | Popular films afford a creative and effective teaching method to stimulate robust student interaction and engagement of concepts in ways that enhance learning outcomes. This paper describes a study of the effective use of a purposefully selected, fact-based film as an instructional case analysis to identify and examine the critical aspects of a change management process. This research applied a case study method that used pre- and post-surveys of university undergraduate students in an active learning setting. Results of this study showed that the teaching innovation produced a 76% increase in students' understanding and comprehension of change management principles and related power dynamics in a volatile environment. |
