Yes as it says, for me term 3 has been the best term so far.
I think all 3 topics:
Financial Accounting (FA)
Change Management (CM)
Corporate Branding (CB)
were relevant, however I enjoyed FA and CB the most.
As I have mentioned in my previous posts I was quite surprised to find that I liked FA so much. :)
Kudos to our teacher Jeff Gramlich who did a wonderful job. He really did an excellent job of teaching a very difficult subject in a short amount of time.
In respect to CM I had been looking forward to this subject since I started the MBA and it did not disappoint.
Our teacher in CM was John Hayes who both teaches and practices change management in the "real world"; and again a teacher who managed to cram more knowledge into a short amount of time.
It has probably been the most relevant course so far. The theories behind change and how to handle it effectively are arguably more relevant now than ever given the current economic situation.
One notion that I found to be of particular interest for companies in high velocity industries, arguably game developers fit this bill, was that in these high paced firms a change process should not be instigated by first unfreezing the company from it's static assumptions. No one should in fact freeze high velocity firms because they tend to move towards multiple end points at relatively high speed.
