The Market Games website after a transformation. Go check it out and let us know what you think.

Throughout 2021, we made incremental changes to the website copies, the brand journey and the website’s visual aesthetics to better illuminate the story of Market Games. We incorporated way more context about the problems we are tackling, our product’s unique values, and the superstars and team culture behind the magic.

The website is able to be in a much better place than 1.5 year ago because we have made big leaps forward as a company... in our thought leadership, in our company culture, and in our understanding of students' and educators’ needs.

However, it is never “complete”. It will continuously improve as our company grows.

We are proud of our progress and stoked for our future! 💫

This week, Purdue Krannert's IBE students officially completed the pilot of Market Games. Through 3 rounds of making tough and uncertain decisions, we have a winner. Congratulations to Lilia and Alyssa from Michigan Menaces for coming out on top!

A huge shoutout to Ryan Case, the program coordinator, for rallying the students and bringing up the energy every week of the competition! We had a blast delivering the game and look forward to many more opportunities to share this unique learning experience with Purdue students.

In contrast to the positivity that is supposed to come with holiday season, employees at Better experienced an insensitive leadership that instilled frustration, anger and confusion into everyone.

900 employees were shocked to hear a sudden and heartless announcement from their CEO that they were ""terminated effective immediately"" during a meeting on December 1st. Many executives resigned once the news got out, employees and customers revolted, and everyone was driven to look at the toxic culture that exists within the company. Read the article for details.

One of our main focuses is nurturing leadership skills in business education, so we wanted to share this example of bad leadership and highlight the negative impacts it could have on a company's brand, productivity, and the trust of important stakeholders. We can do better than this.

“Employees are calling for a head,” a company source, who argued that Vishal Garg stepping down is a cosmetic fix, told The Daily Beast.

Here's what the Director of SMB Marketing at Google, Laura Lubetsky Kotee, have to say about the skills that college students should learn early on to prepare for their careers.

"Make mistakes. You actually learn more when you make mistakes than when everything goes smoothly." That is such a powerful statement.

This is a small snippet of the valuable insights we heard from the webinar Market Games co-hosted with OpenStax. We heard from University of Alabama, University of Iowa, University of Colorado at Boulder, and Purdue University about the innovative ways that their business programs are getting students earlier on in their undergraduate journey.
