[AISWorld] 3rd CfP HICSS 2015 Minitrack: Organizational Impact of Online Games - Paper Submission

[Kafui Monu]

Just a reminder that the deadline for the Organizational Impact of
Online Games Mini-track is in less than a month. This mini-track will
provide a forum for researchers to discuss the design, use and impact
of online games in various contexts. We are specifically interested in
research on the information systems concepts of online games (e.g. a
study that identifies the information system designs of successful
"free-to-play" online games). The general purpose of this mini track
is to focus on research that investigates the use of information
system concepts, theories, methods, tools and practices in online
digital games.

There is burgeoning research investigating the use of online games.
Studies have been conducted on how people socialise using features in
online games and how game design affects interactive play.  Recent
studies have investigated how games create virtual economies and new
business models. And lastly, work has been conducted on how businesses
use games to increase employee engagement and embed games in customer
facing business processes.

Based on the mini-tracks focus, we are interested in work that
provides insights into how games change our world. For example,
studies on the interaction between information system design and the
game design in online environments; research on the mix of game design
and information technology in the creation and impact of virtual
economies; and work conducted on the gamification of business
processes.

Relevant topics may include (but are not limited to):

Gamification
Game Design
Game Business Models
Game Economies
Serious Games in the workplace
