• Depending on the class, it might take a few minutes for the students to realize that they don’t have the right pieces to complete the
puzzle.
• They will finally realize that the whole class has to collaborate to complete the puzzles.
• After the students realize that there are multiple puzzles and have finally completed the puzzles, have them stay in the groups, discuss
the process, and analyze the steps involved.
Student Instructions:
• Student steps for the activity:
1. You are to put together a puzzle.
2. The first team to successfully complete the puzzle will receive a prize.
Wrap-Up/“Takeaways” Suggested Topics:
• In-person/hybrid classes: Wrap-up and discussion: 15–20 min. Frame the discussion around the concept that the business world is like a
puzzle with multiple components performing a myriad of functions and roles (refer to Figure 1.1 A Business and Its Stakeholders) that at
first glance may not seem connected but requires collaboration to create a successful business.
