Learning the Power of Cooperative Organization through Play

For years I have taught my students about cooperative organizations. Until I discovered the game Co-opoly™, I had a hard time exciting them about the possibilities of this organizational form that brings great value to individuals and communities world-wide but that is not well understood by most management majors. Playing the game in class has deeply engaged my students and led to rich discussions. Strikingly, after playing, students continue to bring up issues related to cooperatives throughout the rest of the semester. If you’d like to learn how to use this game in your class, come play it with me!
