On February 7, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm CET, we will present the Virtual Worlds and Gaming Live Case Day at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE). During this day, masters students from the Royal Institute of Technology and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden will present their work conducted in the Strategy Module of a Media Management Course.<BR>
<BR>
During the three weeks of this module, the students have investigated in their groups a number of strategic issues within the virtual worlds and gaming industries in the US, Europe, and Asia. There will be 16 groups making a 15 minute presentation each. Below is the schedule of the topics that will be presented.<BR>
<BR>
The Live Case Day will be livestreamed both onto the internet via our blog (www.nordicworlds.net) as well as onto SSE’s island in Second Life: <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><U><a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/SSE%20MBA/134/198/26/?title=SSE%20MBA&msg=Welcome">http://slurl.com/secondlife/SSE%20MBA/134/198/26/?title=SSE%20MBA&msg=Welcome</a></U></FONT>. The twitter hashtag is #NVWN. The students’ slides will also be uploaded to Slideshare and will have “SSE” in the name. To access the livestream, check the NVWN blog: www.nordicworlds.net on Monday.
