Stimulating System Innovation: A Case Study of an Online Teaching Academy for Business Faculty

As Goldstein and Otte (2016) have stated, "Managing change.. .means understanding change and responding to it, seeking opportunities to appropriate and use what is new, to improve what can be reformed and to preserve what must not be lost" (p. 181).
