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! We hope that you all learned valuable lessons, and we appreciate you for volunteering for and working hard on this pilot amidst your busy schedules.

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.

We are thrilled to announce that, this week, 10 Purdue University students within the highly selective Integrated Business & Engineering program will be starting a pilot of the Intro to Business Game.

In teams of 2, these students are competing for bragging rights, Purdue swag, and an Amazon gift card.

Thanks to Ryan Case for working closely with us to deliver this experience. We are very thrilled to see how the competition pans out. Stay tuned for updates.

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.

‘Unhinged’ Better.com Boss Forced to Take Time Off as Employees Revolt “Employees are calling for a head,” a company source, who argued that Vishal Garg stepping down is a cosmetic fix, told The Daily Beast.

Join us next Thursday at 11 AM PST as we speak to five business education and industry experts about:
(1) what undergraduate business students need to learn to be prepared for success, and
(2) how various programs are taking innovative approaches to build these career ready skills early on in the undergraduate experience and at scale.

Alongside OpenStax, we are hosting this live webinar as part of our effort to provide more resources, ideas and tools to business educators.

Reflecting on this past year, Market Games have grown so much as a company, and we can only credit that growth to our instructors and students who trust us to deliver an unforgettable learning experience in their classroom.
