Cambio como un juego

El cambio como un juego de interaccion estrategica es el edición español del libro Change as collaborative play

Los entornos de las organizaciones han experimentado grandes turbulencias en los últimos años. La globalización, la digitalización, la inteligencia artificial y la robótica, la nueva sociología del mercado laboral o el aumento de la complejidad de los mercados han contribuido a una nueva dinámica de incertidumbre y ambigüedad. Las organizaciones están cambiando internamente y en sus relaciones con las demás, pero este cambio puede verse como algo positivo. Este libro, dirigido a estudiantes, profesionales de la transformación organizacional, asesores en procesos de cambio y profesores universitarios y de escuelas de negocios, plantea una dinámica de juego para impulsar el cambio en las organizaciones y gestionarlo de forma exitosa. Un modelo que invita a la interacción y que ofrece un punto de referencia e inspiración a los jugadores que quieren contribuir al cambio y desarrollarse ellos mismos.
