Alban Dechelotte talked about the gaming industry and the role of esports, their current importance, as well as their expected—if not inevitable—growth.
An eye opening moment was when Alban Dechelotte made a fact-based comparison of the gaming industry to other forms of entertainment. In addition, he made a very strong case about the attractiveness of the esports audience to advertisers when compared to the respective audience of traditional sports. He also provided great insights regarding the business model of the top esports teams, contrasting it to that of top European football clubs.

Award
Congrats to Harris Kyriakou, Associate Professor at ESSEC Business School, and Holder of the Media & Digital Chair - ESSEC as his case titled "ChatGPT vs. Google and the Future of Search" received THREE distinctions in this year's The Case Centre awards(i.e., the world’s largest repository of case studies): 1) Overall Winner , 2) Outstanding Compact Case competition winner, and 3) Bestselling case.
This recognition is particularly important for two reasons: First, according to The Case Centre, it is only the second time in the history of the awards that a case has won both an award and a competition. Second, the case was the overall winner, despite fierce competition from other prestigious schools that also took home important awards including Harvard Business School (Entrepreneurship, by Shane Greenstein and Sarah Gulick), London Business School (Production and Operations Management, by Herminia Ibarra and Adam Jones), INSEAD (Marketing, and Economics, by David Dubois, Lucie Tepla, and Dr Lisa Simone Duke).
