WVU business students’ creativity cultivated through board game development project
When Dr. Jody Crosno, an associate professor of marketing and the marketing Ph.D.
coordinator at the WVU College of Business and Economics, found out that board

Marketing 350 students were tasked with developing a new board game targeted to the 6-9 age range that focused on current trends in the board game industry. They had to research the current trends, develop a new game concept to be play tested by families with children in the target age group in the Morgantown area, revise the product based on feedback and present the final product at a trade show.
