[AISWorld] Inviting Expressions of Interest for Mini Track Submissions for SIG GAME minitrack @ AMCIS 2025

[abhishek behl]

The Americas Conference on Information Systems 2025 (AMCIS 2025) will be
held on August 14-16, 2025 in Montreal, Quebec (Canada). We call for
mini-tracks for the SIG

*Game Design and Research for Business and Society (SIG GAME)*

Track Description:
The track aims to attract research papers that use games (be it tabletop
games or video games, or any other form of game systems) as a literature,
methodology, process, or solution for business problems that stem from data
and information and have implications in any discipline. As businesses move
towards the new reality of metaverse and contemporary businesses gradually
adopt and adapt to gaming as an alternate medium of revenue and engagement,
the track also invites researchers to investigate how games and investments
are helping firms grow and expand their business. While serious aspects of
games in businesses are one aspect, the track also welcomes submissions
that help and support contributions to human psychology, emotions, and
behavior. Games and/or game-based interventions have been studied in the
context of behavioral studies, which now gets complex with generation alpha
taking center stage, who are fascinated with the idea of alternate reality
and metaverse. The track welcomes submissions that link games’ psychology
and behavioral connections with users. Lastly, the track also invites
submissions discussing the flux between game designers/gaming
organizations/game developers, and their business models that must balance
ethics, morality, fun, learning, entertainment, and emotions. From a
designer’s and developer’s viewpoint, a significant gap exists between what
is designed and what is perceived when using gamified offerings for
businesses and society. The submissions would also help understand how
games and game-based solutions can help society solve the grand challenges
and societal reforms.
