Serious Gamification: On The Redesign Of A Popular Paradox, Steffen Roth
Serious Gamification: On The Redesign Of A Popular Paradox, Steffen Roth
Dr. Steffen Roth
We challenge the idea of the paradoxical nature of the concept serious games and ask how researchers and designers need to conceive of serious games so that they at all appear paradoxical. To develop and answer this question, we draw on a theory–method that considers all forms of observation as paradoxical. We then use the tetralemma, a structure from traditional Indian logics, to resolve the paradox of serious games into this larger paradox of observation. Consequently, serious games may only be consid- ered a paradox if we presume realities and define games as deviations therefrom. The increasing gamification of society, …
Innovation And Entrepreneurship A Panacea To Crisis, Emmanouil Alexander Zografakis
Innovation And Entrepreneurship A Panacea To Crisis, Emmanouil Alexander Zografakis
Emmanouil Alexander Zografakis EZ
The beneficial effect of innovation and entrepreneurship on crisis management can be easily highlighted taking Greek financial crisis into account. That specific crisis has paved the way to a new enterprising era, characterized by high instability, making the dream of growth potential speculation to be vanished into thin air. Thus, the process of management, planning and setting of targets is liable to come to a standstill. On that occasion, only the balancing of quality and cost can lead to manufacture that can be deemed to be “value for money”.
Business Model Design Games: Rules And Procedures To Challenge Assumptions And Elicit Surprises, Sune Gudiksen
Business Model Design Games: Rules And Procedures To Challenge Assumptions And Elicit Surprises, Sune Gudiksen
CW Tsai
Previously well-established companies are currently struggling to secure profits, mainly due to the pressure from new communication technology-based business models. Because of this, the business model research field has flourished in recent years, but most of the applied approaches still rely on linear, rational conceptions and causal reasoning. Through three games and three business cases, it is argued that experimental game-like innovation activities can lead the way into another approach to business model development, called ‘business model design games’. This paper illustrates how the application of game rules and procedures can challenge business assumptions and evoke surprises that lead to …
The Motivational Fabric Of Gamified Idea Competitions: The Evaluation Of Game Mechanics From A Longitudinal Perspective, Christian Scheiner
The Motivational Fabric Of Gamified Idea Competitions: The Evaluation Of Game Mechanics From A Longitudinal Perspective, Christian Scheiner
CW Tsai
Idea competitions are a highly important tool for integrating insiders and outsiders in the idea generation and evaluation activities of organizations. Previous research on motives for par- ticipation has demonstrated that organizers need to design idea competitions that create a positive experience for participants. To address this challenge, organizations have started to include games mechanics (e.g., points, levels, badges) into idea competitions, a measure that has been termed gamification. However, there is a lack of scientific studies focusing on the longitudinal evaluation and perception of game mechanics. This study thus evaluates game mechanics in a gamified idea competition through two …

The Ludic Drive As Innovation Driver: Introduction To The Gamification Of Innovation, Steffen Roth, Dirk Schneckenberg, Chia-Wen Tsai
The Ludic Drive As Innovation Driver: Introduction To The Gamification Of Innovation, Steffen Roth, Dirk Schneckenberg, Chia-Wen Tsai
Dr. Steffen Roth
Gamification has recently been receiving increased attention in corporate innovation and business research alike. In this article, we first outline the main streams of research on gamification in the creativity and innovation literature. We then introduce the selection of contributions to this special section by theoretically embedding them in their application contexts. Thus referring to research fields as different as business model innovation, design thinking and crowdsourcing, we indicate theoretical challenges for future research on gamification, among the most important of which we count theoretical approaches to the question of whether and how organizations actually can play with persons.
How The Usage Of It Is Effecting Academic Libraries, Mohammed J. Sarwar
How The Usage Of It Is Effecting Academic Libraries, Mohammed J. Sarwar
Mohammed J Sarwar
The purpose of this treatise is to determine how information technology is affecting the usage of services in the academic library. Various studies suggest that there has been a decline in usage of traditional face-to-face reference services. The majority of the college students prefer to use the Web instead of frequenting the library. Librarians and educators are concerned that these students are developing poor research skills if they only use the internet for research. Many of them are not familiar with the best electronic resources. Librarians may have less reference work but they will need to offer instruction on using …
The Internet Of Things And Wearable Technology: Addressing Privacy And Security Concerns Without Derailing Innovation, Adam D. Thierer
The Internet Of Things And Wearable Technology: Addressing Privacy And Security Concerns Without Derailing Innovation, Adam D. Thierer
Adam Thierer
This paper highlights some of the opportunities presented by the rise of the so-called “Internet of Things” and wearable technology in particular, and encourages policymakers to allow these technologies to develop in a relatively unabated fashion. As with other new and highly disruptive digital technologies, however, the Internet of Things and wearable tech will challenge existing social, economic, and legal norms. In particular, these technologies raise a variety of privacy and safety concerns. Other technical barriers exist that could hold back IoT and wearable tech — including disputes over technical standards, system interoperability, and access to adequate spectrum to facilitate …

This working paper presents findings from analyses of Russian nanotechnology outputs in publications and patents focusing on developments over the period 1990 through to 2012. The investigation draws on bibliometric datasets of scientific journal publications and patents and on available secondary English-language and Russian sources. The document provides both an overview and detailed analyses of nanotechnology research and innovation in Russia. The examination of publications highlights sectoral trends, leading authors and organizations, and acknowledgements to funding sources. The analysis of patents adds further evidence about patterns of invention and ownership of intellectual property emanating from research and development in Russian …
Changing The Way Posts Operate, Jacob Johnsen
Changing The Way Posts Operate, Jacob Johnsen
Jacob Johnsen, MSc
The first part of the book describes how the market is changing and identifies some of the key factors influencing these changes; the second section then explores what kind of leadership is needed in this context, where collaboration is essential and no business stands by itself. Needless to say, posts do not just need to think differently but also to change the way that they operate, which is explored in the third section; the whole culture of the posts needs to change and that is not achieved easily or quickly, as can be seen in the fourth section. Section five …

The Myth Of The Early Aviation Patent Hold-Up – How A U.S. Government Monopsony Commandeered Pioneer Airplane Patents, Ron D. Katznelson, John Howells
The Myth Of The Early Aviation Patent Hold-Up – How A U.S. Government Monopsony Commandeered Pioneer Airplane Patents, Ron D. Katznelson, John Howells
Ron D. Katznelson
The prevailing historical accounts of the formation of the U.S. aircraft “patent pool” in 1917 assume the U.S. Government necessarily intervened to alleviate a patent hold-up among private aircraft manufacturers. We show these accounts to be inconsistent with the historical facts. We show that despite the existence of basic aircraft patents, aircraft manufacturers faced no patent barriers in the market dominated by Government demand. We show that the notion of the aircraft patent hold-up is a myth created by Government officials and used to persuade Congress to authorize eminent domain condemnation of basic aircraft patents. Government officials used the threat …

The Great Leap Forward That Never Was, Uwe Muegge
The Great Leap Forward That Never Was, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
Ten years ago, machine translation (MT) was very much a niche technology for translation professionals. MT tools were expensive, supported only a small number of language pairs, and did not play nice with many standard translation tools. Today, MT is available either for free or at very low cost, in thousands of language combinations, and many translation memory systems offer integrated MT functionality. In other words, MT has evolved by leaps and bounds. As the number of translation professionals who post-edit raw MT has increased dramatically over the past 10 years, the big question is whether developments in post-editing have …
Acquiring Nanotechnology Capabilities: Role Of Mergers And Acquisitions, Jan Youtie, Luciano Kay
Acquiring Nanotechnology Capabilities: Role Of Mergers And Acquisitions, Jan Youtie, Luciano Kay
Jan Youtie
Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are an important but unstudied aspect of nanotechnology’s evolution. This paper uses case review and bibliometric analysis to examine 20 M&As involving acquired firms in the nanotechnology domain. The guiding proposition is acquired firms provide complementarities to the acquiring firms. Key measures given consideration include the nature of the post-acquisition organization, whether the pre-acquisition geographic location is retained, the purpose of the acquisitions as indicated in news releases, and the extent of similarity in research publications and patents. Differences by the country of the acquiring firm and sub-industry are noted. Within the limitations of the case …
Patent Overlay Mapping: Visualizing Technological Distance, Luciano Kay, Nils Newman, Jan Youtie, Alan L. Porter, Ismael Rafols
Patent Overlay Mapping: Visualizing Technological Distance, Luciano Kay, Nils Newman, Jan Youtie, Alan L. Porter, Ismael Rafols
Jan Youtie
This paper presents a new global patent map that represents all technological categories and a method to locate patent data of individual organizations and technological fields on the global map. This overlay map technique may support competitive intelligence and policy decision making. The global patent map is based on similarities in citing-to-cited relationships between categories of the International Patent Classification (IPC) of European Patent Office (EPO) patents from 2000 to 2006. This patent data set, extracted from the PATSTAT database, includes 760,000 patent records in 466 IPC-based categories. We compare the global patent maps derived from this categorization to related …
Privateers & Paes: Economic Harms To Competition And Innovation, Robert G. Harris
Privateers & Paes: Economic Harms To Competition And Innovation, Robert G. Harris
Robert G Harris
This paper addresses the problems of aggressive rent-seeking activities by patent assertion entities (PAEs), especially those involving patent thickets. It analyzes the fundamental differences in the strategic interests of practicing entities and PAEs and explains why those differences affect the conduct of PAEs and increase the opportunities for, and economic harm caused by PAEs’ rent-seeking and patent holdup. It also addresses the anticompetitive harms caused when practicing entities transfer patents to PAEs, especially those that incentivize assertion of the transferred patents against their competitors, i.e. “patent privateering.”
Do-It-Yourself Mt: Taking (Statistical) Machine Translation To The Next Level, Uwe Muegge
Do-It-Yourself Mt: Taking (Statistical) Machine Translation To The Next Level, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
New web-based statistical machine translation services are currently revolutionizing the market. These SaaS solutions allow users to customize an MT engine with their own translation memories. As most of these services follow the subscription model, launching a DIY MT project costs only a fraction of deploying a traditional machine translation tool, which makes this powerful technology affordable for even the smallest organization.
Economic Aspects Of Internet Security, Henk Lm Kox, Bas Straathof
Economic Aspects Of Internet Security, Henk Lm Kox, Bas Straathof
Henk LM Kox
An economic perspective on Internet security is useful not only for identifying weak spots, but also for finding solutions to security problems. It focuses on the behaviour and economic incentives of both infrastructure providers and end users. Individual parties may have insufficient incentives to invest in cybersecurity. The free play of markets markets may not deliver a socially optimal level of security on the Internet for at least three reasons: information asymmetry, externalities and market power. Information asymmetry might occur in various situations. For example, end users are not able to verify whether an Internet Service Provider (ISP) correctly informs …

A Performance Measurement Framework For It Service Management, Francis Gacenga Dr.
A Performance Measurement Framework For It Service Management, Francis Gacenga Dr.
Francis Gacenga Dr.
The use of Information Technology (IT) has become more pervasive and, progressively, there has been a shift from a technology focus to a service focus in managing IT. The performance measurement of IT service management (ITSM) is a major challenge faced by organisations adopting best practice frameworks. The extensive adoption of ITSM frameworks by organisations may point to the acceptance by IT service managers that best practice frameworks such as Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) and standards such as ISO/IEC 20000 can deliver real operational efficiencies, ultimately translating into business benefits. Some organisations implementing ITSM initiatives have reported realisation of …

Cfp: Handbook Of Research On Technological Applications And Innovation For Economic Development, Deogratias Harorimana Mr
Dr Deogratias Harorimana
The innovation in the 21st century goes significantly beyond the high-tech picture driven by small or large industry clusters in a specific region-typically Silicon Valley and M4Corridor. The future of innovation will lie within knowledge management and seamless technological applications. These will be supported by planned funding strategies, possibly with clients as drivers of the innovation. This view seems to be supported by the UK government “Technology and Innovation Futures” (2011); the USA government (2011), study into which leading scholars concede that the future innovation and technological applications for economic growth will include products and processes, improvements in areas such …
Symposium Report: Findings From The Research Roundtable On The Economic And Community Impact Of Broadband, Edward Feser, John Horrigan, William Lehr
Symposium Report: Findings From The Research Roundtable On The Economic And Community Impact Of Broadband, Edward Feser, John Horrigan, William Lehr
Edward J Feser
In December 2012, a group of experts spanning disciplines and practice in the field of broadband policy met to discuss how the research community can better serve state and local policymakers and other stakeholders. This group of subject matter experts was convened to examine how best to measure the economic impact of state and national broadband deployment and capacity/adoption building efforts. The impetus for the symposium stemmed from the widespread view that there is a deficit of research, standards, and measurements to adequately inform the widely acknowledged view that broadband Internet is a driver of sustainable economic and community development. …

The Role Of Creativity In Development Of Innovation In Tourism, Elif Bascavusoglu-Moreau, Sebastian Kopera, Ewa Wszendybył-Skulska
The Role Of Creativity In Development Of Innovation In Tourism, Elif Bascavusoglu-Moreau, Sebastian Kopera, Ewa Wszendybył-Skulska
Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI
Creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship are slogans that have become an integral part of modern tourism economy. Creativity and innovation of tourism economy as well as the meaning of creativity in tourism business are intensely discussed. Today, creativity is being frequently analyzed as a basic feature of actions performed on a daily basis in terms of both personal and professional life, a feature that every employee is required to possess. It means that employers and, above all, the education system must feel it necessary to develop certain conditions in which human creativity can be shaped, which is understood as a system …

Innovative Activity Of Small Tourist Enterprises – Cooperation With Local Institutional Partners, Marta Najda-Janoszka
Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI
According to the open innovation model an effective strategy for increasing innovation and competitiveness of the region should be based on active and multilevel cooperation among operators of the local tourism business environment. It is commonly assumed that an exceptionally important role in creating a favorable environment for the cooperative practices in the region is performed by local authorities. Yet, a modest number of research findings presented in the literature indicate a rather high level of inertia of local authorities in creating appropriate conditions for tourism business development, thus putting in question the effectiveness of performed intermediary function in the …
Context And Animacy Play A Role In Dynamic Decision-Making, Magda Osman, Alexandros Ananiadis-Basias
Context And Animacy Play A Role In Dynamic Decision-Making, Magda Osman, Alexandros Ananiadis-Basias
Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI
Perception, judgment, and reasoning are all processes that are sensitive to cues to animacy (i.e. the presence of signals that indicate an object behaves as if it has intentions and internal goals). The present study investigated the following question: Does animacy facilitate decision-making in a dynamic control system? To address this, the present study used a dynamic decision-making task and compared behavior in four different contexts (Abstract, Animate-Social, Inanimate-Social, Inanimate- Non-social). Participants were randomly allocated to one of these contexts, and in each version they were required to learn to manipulate variables in order to bring the dynamic system to …
How Korean Venture Capitals Invest In New Technology Ventures, Youngkeun Choi
How Korean Venture Capitals Invest In New Technology Ventures, Youngkeun Choi
Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI
In the entrepreneurship field, this study examines what kinds of external endorsements are helpful for venture capitals investment and the growth of new technology ventures in developing countries. This study uses the signalling theory and the methodologies of multiple regression and survival analysis with the panel data of the ventures in Korea. In the results, collaboration with business groups and certification of government are positively influential in attracting venture capitals’ investment, which accelerate the growth of new technology ventures. The practical implication for entrepreneurs is that they need to obtain the endorsement from business groups and governments strategically.
