Abstract:
Business needs to take advantage of Indonesian online gamers who are using online community to communicate and interact, when gamers share their reviews of game, for example, or when they post reviews of their purchases of virtual goods from online games. Using online community, gamers can do the trading with other members. The key is to share their experience with online games throughout the gamer’s journey.Players play an important role in the game market and have unique characteristics that respond differently to technology acceptance. In addition, a comprehensive review of the relevant literature on motivation for using Online Gamers Know-How Exchange shows that players are looking for recommendations from friends about the games they are interested in, through the social networking community and especially from their own communities.This paper analyzed the phenomenon of game-related industry involving motivation, opportunity, abilty and technology acceptance model in which organizations effectively raise the communication and know how above the gamers.Gamers from online community game taken as sample in Bandung City, West Java, Indonesia.Result shown that the two PEOU and PU were positively related to Online Gamers Know-How Exchange.

Abstract:
This study critically assesses the Chinese online games industry through problematizing the creativity of Chinese games. I find that between 1995 and 2001, Chinese online games were mostly developed by amateurs, noncommercial, and considerably creative. Between 2002 and 2005, industrial growth allowed some room for local creativity despite commercialization and dominance of imported games. Current scholarly, business, and media discourses unfairly ignore creativity in these first two periods and yet praise the Chinese game industry’s commercial success since the late 2000s. I challenge these discourses by illustrating that between 2006 and early 2009, a new, ethically dubious, and uniquely Chinese business model emerged, became domestically dominant, and quietly and profoundly impacted on global online game design. From mid-2009 to 2015, there is ongoing corporatization based on the dubious Chinese business model on the one hand, and a reemphasis on creativity motivated by browser and mobile game formats on the other.

Abstract:
While the growth of total game market size slowed down and the arcade game industry started to shrink, the online game market keeps increasing, attaining 26.5% annual growth rate for the early 2010's. Korea's online game business is especially popular, so that the size is about US$ 4 billion, which is 64.2% of Korea's total game industry. In 2013, Game market size and online game market size were estimated to be about US$ 9 billion and US$ 7 billion, respectively. From a standpoint of sales, the game market in Korea (US$ 4.95 billion) accounts for 5.8% of the world game market and almost one third of the world online game market. Its growth rate is higher than that of the world game market. The online game markets in Korea and China have common characteristics that can be distinguished from other countries: two-sided market with very low switching costs. This paper is to study the important factors that affect Korean online game's platform competition. The authors empirically investigate network externalities by using various variables in online game industry in Korea. The authors found the number of games available in a platform positively affects its market share, while the diversity of games and generality of game rating had no significant impacts. The authors also found that multi-homing (or overlap of games) increases an online platform's market share when the platform is relatively new. However, multi-homing decreases market share when it becomes mature. Having done our empirical and academic analyses, the authors draw practical implications that may help decision makers in Korea's online game businesses.

Abstract:
COVID-19 has disrupted educational institutes across the world. Teachers and students are now forced to teach and study online for an unidentified period, which severely hampers the learning capacity as well the student’s intention toward entrepreneurship. This study compared the impact of traditional teaching and teaching through online management simulation games on student learning performance and further leads to entrepreneurial intention. To further understand the desirability of business simulation games, we used the technology acceptance model (TAM) and extended it by employing knowledge sharing, knowledge application, learnability, perceived pleasure, and self-efficacy as exogenous variables. For this purpose, time-lagged data were collected from 277 students enrolled in entrepreneurship courses in public sector universities. To deal with homogeneity and generalizability issues, students from different collaborative universities were asked to participate in the study. Structural equation modeling was employed for analysis, where the results depict that the students learning performance was enhanced after using simulation games compared to regular theoretical online lectures, which further encouraged them to be entrepreneurs. We also concluded that simulation games are novel and effective online teaching methodology for students during a time of crisis. The study concludes with its theoretical, practical implications, and directions for future researchers.

Abstract:
The growth of games as a fast growing industry in Indonesia has made online gaming business lines increasingly developed, so that a business market for buying and selling virtual goods (virtual items in games) is formed in several virtual goods marketplaces such as itemku.com. The formation of the business market on the virtual goods marketplace has created various perceptions to support their gaming activities. This study uses qualitative methods, observation techniques, in-depth interviews and documentation. The theory used is perception. This study will discuss how variables such as sensation, anticipation and interpretation are formed from gamers about how microtransactions are carried out and also associated with CMC (Computer Mediated Communcations) to find out how communication patterns occur in these mictrotransactions. As a result, the majority of gamers have the same perception of microtransactions. Gamers who make virtual goods transactions aim to get satisfaction as well as actualization, virtual items that have more value in the game also trigger to perform microtransactions as part of the pride, and factor of self-existence when doing gaming activities using CMC.

Abstract:
Thesis (M.B.A.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 2007.
This thesis is a part of an exploration of how the relationships between the customers of Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) shape customer experience, and can be used to diminish customer churn and improve customer life expectancy, two critical drivers for any subscription-based business model. MMOGs are a very complex product, with a massive level of interaction within the customer base - in fact those interactions constitute a significant part of the appeal. Thus, MMOGs combine aspects of particularly tough online community management, online customer service, and game design/content creation. To be successful, all of those elements need a fine understanding of the customer, their needs and their virtual 'life' and relationships within the game world. This thesis explores the usefulness of detailed, sophisticated interview to gain a fine understanding of customer needs and of the tools necessary to organize communication with, and among, customers. From this knowledge, it projects examples of strategic thrusts necessary to achieve or maintain leadership within this recent, but very powerful and lucrative, business model.

Abstract:
Online services such as e-marketplaces, social networking sites, online gaming environments etc have grown in popularity in the recent years. These services represent situation where participants do not get to negotiate face to face before interaction and most of the time parties to transaction remain anonymous. It is thus necessary to have a system that rightly assesses trustworthiness of the other party in order to maintain quality assurance in such systems. Recent works on Trust and Reputation in online communities have focused on identifying probable defaulters, but less effort has been put to come up with system that make cooperation attractive over defection in order to achieve cooperation without enforcement. Our work in this regard concerns design and investigation of trust assessment systems that not only filter defaulters but also promote evolution of cooperativeness in player society. Based on the concept of game theory and prisoner's dilemma, we model business games and design incentive method, compensation method, acquaintance based assessment method and decision theoretic assessment method as mechanisms to assure trustworthiness in online business environments. Effectiveness of each of these methods in promoting the evolution of cooperation in player society has been investigated. Our results show that these methods contribute positively in promoting cooperative evolution. We have further extended our trust assessment model to suit the needs of a mobile ad-hoc network setting. The effectiveness of this model has been tested against its capability to reduce packet drop rate and energy conservation. In both of these the results show promise.

Abstract:
En la actualidad los consumidores enfrentan problemáticas al adquirir un bien o servicio, ya sea por problemas con la disponibilidad de dinero, tiempo o algún otro tipo de limitante. Asimismo, al enfocar esta escena en el panorama digital, las variables antes descritas se mantienen, añadiendo la desconfianza a la lista. Por tal motivo, este trabajo de investigación plantea una nueva forma de adquirir bienes y servicios, de una manera novedosa que pretende eliminar las negativas mencionadas anteriormente. Esta iniciativa será llevada cabo mediante la implementación de una plataforma llamada Rifus que digitalice, casi en su totalidad, el proceso de venta de rifas. Esta se llevará a cabo mediante la adquisición de productos llamativos para el público en general y se venderá una cantidad previamente establecida de tickets virtuales para que el usuario pueda participar por ganar el producto de su agrado. Para poder conocer los atributos que el usuario valora al actuar en este entorno se realizaron investigaciones que permitieron moldear Rifus de acuerdo con lo que los usuarios consideraban pertinente. Algunas de estas fueron las motivaciones que tienen los usuarios para participar en ese tipo de sorteos, los productos por los que prefieren participar, entre otros. Finalmente, para poder conocer la viabilidad de Rifus se utilizaron diferentes indicadores financieros como el VAN y la TIR que respaldan que es rentable. Asimismo, mediante las encuestas ya mencionadas se pudo conocer la opinión de los entrevistados sobre el proyecto y se validó que la propuesta de valor es de su agrado.
Currently, people suffer from problems when they want to acquire a good or service, whether due to problems with the availability of money, time or some other type of limitation. Also, by focusing this scene on the digital landscape, the variables described above could be added, adding distrust to the list. For this reason, this research paper proposes a new way of acquiring goods and services, in a novel way that aims to eliminate the previously required refusals. This initiative will be carried out by implementing a website called Rifus that digitizes, almost entirely, the raffle sale process. This initiative will be carried out by acquiring flashy products for the general public and a previously established amount of virtual tickets will be sold so that the user can participate to win the product of their choice. In order to know the attributes that the user values in acting in this environment, research that allows Rifus to be molded according to what users consider relevant is investigated. Some of these were the motivations that users have to participate in this type of society, the products for which they prefer to participate, among others. Finally, in order to know the viability of Rifus, different financial indicators will be used, such as the NPV and the IRR that support that it is profitable. In the same way, through the surveys and the results, the opinion of the interviewees on the business model was known and the value proposal was endorsed by them.

Abstract:
El presente proyecto de investigación consta de una tienda online de juegos de mesa para personas que buscan salir de la rutina y practicar nuevas formas de recreación sana y divertida, en base a la investigación realizada en Lima Metropolitana, se detectó que algunos grupos de personas buscan nuevas formas de pasar el tiempo en familia o con amigos por lo cual muchos compran juegos de mesa para tener horas de diversión sana. Asimismo, se identificó que muchas de estas personas tienen cada vez menos tiempo para desempeñar sus actividades diarias o prefieren invertir su tiempo realizando nuevas actividades y por eso recurren o prefieren los servicios delivery al momento de comprar productos a través de páginas web o redes sociales. Por último, se identificó que muchas personas van a las tiendas de juegos de mesa para adquirir los productos, sin embargo, muchas veces pierden tiempo en ir a estos lugares por el tráfico en Lima o la distancia de sus casas a las tiendas. En base a esto, se decidió crear una tienda online para la venta exclusiva de juegos de mesa. Para poner en marcha el proyecto de la tienda online llamada Game Legend se hizo un análisis de la industria: clientes y potenciales clientes, proveedores en Lima, competencia directa e indirecta y otros factores externos como productos sustitutos. Además, se desarrollaron los siguientes planes: Plan Estratégico, Plan de Operaciones, Plan de Marketing, Plan de Recursos Humanos y Responsabilidad Social Empresarial y el Plan Financiero. Los cuales se enfocan en las estrategias necesarias para la viabilidad de este proyecto.
This research project consists of an online store of board games for people looking to get out of the routine and practice new forms of healthy and fun recreation, based on the research carried out in Metropolitan Lima, it was detected that some groups of people are looking for new ways to spend time with family or friends so many buy board games to have hours of healthy fun. Likewise, it was identified that many of these people have less and less time to carry out their daily activities or prefer to spend their time doing new activities and that is why they use or prefer delivery services when buying products through web pages or social networks. Finally, it was identified that many people go to the board games stores to acquire the products, however, many times they lose time in going to these places because of the traffic in Lima or the distance from their houses to the stores. Based on this, it was decided to create an online store for the exclusive sale of board games. To start the project of the online store called Game Legend, an industry analysis was made: customers and potential customers, suppliers in Lima, direct and indirect competition and other external factors such as substitute products. In addition, the following plans were developed: Strategic Plan, Operations Plan, Marketing Plan, Human Resources Plan and Corporate Social Responsibility and the Financial Plan. Which focus on the strategies necessary for the viability of this project.

Abstract:
This is a relationship marketing PhD which is examining, using Commitment Trust Theory, the customer decision to maintain subscribing to a massively multiplayer online game. This PhD is not an examination of initial purchase decision, but of the ongoing, post-purchase, customer retention. In keeping with the contextual nature of Commitment Trust Theory, this study examines the antecedents of the re-subscription decision and their effect on the key mediating variables of Commitment and Trust and modifies the framework to model the subscription based nature of the business situation and the context. The key contribution of this research to the literature is the application of the Commitment Trust framework to a customer’s ongoing relationship with a massively multiplayer online game entertainment product; a situation and context which has not been examined in the literature. An online questionnaire survey was used to collect a sample of data from 2226 massively multiplayer online game customers. This sample data was then analysed using Structural Equation Modelling to test the relationship hypotheses between the constructs proposed by Commitment Trust Theory. Furthermore, hypotheses examining the effect of relevant demographic and categorical variables upon the constructs of Commitment Trust Theory were also tested and analysed using appropriate statistical techniques. Evidence was found to support the Commitment Trust Theory framework in a massively multiplayer online game subscription situation, with the study’s model explaining 85.7% of the variance of the sample data, with evidence presented to support the key mediating variable approach to modelling the circumstances. The study, based on examining the effect size of the construct relationships using standardised regression weights then gives evidence that a more parsimonious model which reduces the number of constructs from 16 to six (a 70% reduction in complexity) would still produce a model explaining 85.3% of the variance of the sample data (a 0.4% loss in explanatory power). The study concludes that the key antecedent constructs in the sample for a customer’s renewal of an online gaming subscription are current satisfaction, past satisfaction, the amount of game capital they have within the game and the metagame benefits they derive from the game. The study supports a key mediating variable structure, but provides evidence that while Commitment and Trust are both relevant and statistically significant, a more efficient explanation examining the effect size of the relationships as well, would focus on the antecedents of Commitment rather than Trust, as Trust and its antecedents were not found to have a significant effect size on the overall decision to re-subscribe.

Mestrado em Gestão de Sistemas de Informação
Com a crescente importância e uso da internet nos dias de hoje, é fulcral as empresas acompanharem esse rumo e aderirem a plataformas que possibilitem o comércio eletrónico, sob pena de, se não o fizerem, ser muito complicado subsistir num mundo que está a ficar cada vez mais global, onde o outro lado do mundo está à distância de um "click". Como tal, o comércio eletrónico deve ser visto como uma oportunidade para o negócio crescer e não o contrário, pois permite acompanhar as necessidades dos consumidores, através das tecnologias mais atuais e ter um feedback muito mais rápido face ao comércio tradicional. Este tipo de comércio permite também ao cliente eliminar algumas barreiras entre o produtor/fornecedor e o cliente final, servindo de certo modo para uma desintermediação do ciclo do produto. Dentro da vertente dos serviços on-line foram testadas quatro hipóteses sobre a aceitação e as vicissitudes dos jogos on-line. Foi pertinente entender se o efeito de rede, a utilidade esperada, o divertimento esperado e o enquadramento social são fatores relevantes no que diz respeito à adoção dos jogos on-line, através da realização de questionários e respetiva análise. Como tal, foi realizado um levantamento dos modelos de negócios existentes no mercado dos jogos em particular, e de que modo é feito o relacionamento dos jogadores consoante os diferentes tipos de jogos existentes. Os resultados obtidos indicam que o efeito de rede, bem como o divertimento esperado são fatores essenciais no que diz respeito à escolha de um jogo on-line.
With the importance and use of the internet growing nowadays, it is crucial for the companies to follow that growing path and join the platforms that enables e-commerce, otherwise it can be very complicated to survive as a company in a world that is becoming increasingly global, where the other side of the world is just a "click" away. Therefore, e-commerce should be seen as an opportunity to increase the company performance and not the opposite, it gives the advantage to be aware of consumer's needs through the latest technologies and access to an earlier feedback compared to the traditional trade. This type of commerce allows the client to obliterate some barriers between the manufacturer/supplier and the final consumer, playing the role of disintermediation of the product cycle. In online services perspective, were tested four hypotheses about the acceptance and the vicissitudes of online games. It became relevant to study if the network effect, the expected utility, the expected hedonism and social environment were main factors regarding online games adoption, through surveys and their analysis. Therefore, it became imperative to study the business models, in particular the online game market, and how the players related according to the different types of games. The results show that the network effects as well as the expected hedonism are essential factors regarding the online game choice.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the gaming behaviors of married individuals and couples who play Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game(s) (MMORPGs) including gaming addiction, time spent gaming, satisfaction in gaming participation, gaming interaction (between joint gaming spouses), and socio-demographic variables and the subsequent marital satisfaction levels of both individuals in the couple. Hypotheses were generally supported, excluding the hours spent gaming. 685 couples were separated and analyzed according to whether both individuals in the marriage gamed or just one individual gamed (couple-gaming type). Couples in which only one individual gamed (individual-gamer couples) had significantly lower marital satisfaction than all other groups and couples in which both gamed about the same amount of time (equal-gamers) held the highest marital satisfaction of the groups. Prediction models of marital satisfaction were determined for each couple-gaming type. The strongest predictions present in most of the models for marital satisfaction were the frequency that the couple retired to bed at the same time and the frequency that the couple quarreled specifically about gaming. Much MMORPG research has been presented on youth and adults, however to date there is no research on married gamers. Recent research on the video game habits of emerging adults called for further in depth investigation of the implications of video game use in the family formation stage of life.

Ren, Qun. "Market share competition in the Chinese online game industry." Thesis, Bournemouth University, 2010. http://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/17505/.

Full text
Abstract:
This study investigates the impacts of pricing innovations and other non-pricing dimensions on the market share competition of dominant Chinese online game companies. The empirical context of my research is the strategic behaviour of online game operators (i.e. the companies who operate online games) in the Chinese online game market – the most active market in the world with strong network effects. According to the literature review, previous pricing studies have focused mainly on the evaluation of traditional pricing theories and their limited validity for the information economy. Velu (2005) pointed out how dominant firms in a market with strong network effects adopt business innovations to sustain their market dominance. This study first investigates the validity of Velu‟s theory and then aims to develop and expand the theory of pricing practice by discussing how dominant companies integrate pricing and other non-pricing dimensions during market share competition. With the application of an analytical synthesis, this study covers large parts of the traditional economy and information economy literature by linking the concepts of „within‟ and „across‟ theories of pricing and competition. It finally brings together different theories and adopts Bouwman and MacInnes‟ virtual web idea as an original conceptual framework to give an insight into how the pricing process and other internal and external factors impact differently on the market share competition. The study adopts a descriptive multiple-case study strategy including five dominant Chinese online game companies and employs qualitative data collected from 64 interviewees and reliable secondary data from documentations and archival records.The findings suggest that, instead of devoting all their efforts to pricing innovation, the companies have turned to an exploration of their internal resources to enhance their competitiveness. Superficially, as an influential external factor, government regulations have constrained the operation of imported games. The study also discusses two internal themes that influence each company‟s competitive strength. They are: how to deal with the exodus of talent and how to handle strategic alliance management. There seems to be no previous research concerning the relationship between pricing innovation and market dominance within a new economy‟s service sector. As a consequence, this research should provide insights into this academic blind spot and rationalize the diversity of strategic theory within the specific industry.

Thesis advisor: Hideo Konishi
Online auctions have many different formats. Each of these affect the ways in which users bid strategically. One example of this is the end-time format. Some sites, like eBay, use a hard close, under which there is a strict end-time and the highest bidder at that time wins. Others, like Amazon, have an extended end-time format. It has been shown that these differences do, in fact, appear to change how bidders behave. This paper uses data obtained from Yahoo! Auctions, where both formats are used, to examine the impact these differences have on the final price of an auction

Abstract:
This chapter, which discusses the evolution of innovative research on game playing in the household and online, such as in studies of massive multiplayer, three-dimensional Internet game environments, demonstrates the need for Internet Studies to deal with the ebbs and flows of the market and the rapid pace of technical change. The video game industry is one of the most profitable and dynamic industries in entertainment. Its future will possibly add a mix of social connectivity and continuing advances in technology as players seek each other as much as they seek games. Casual games are frequently incorporated into pre-existing social networks. Serious games did result in a change in knowledge, opinions, and possible future actions. The research community surrounding games comes from communication, psychology, cultural and critical studies, sociology, and now even business, economics, and computer science.

Abstract:
A growing phenomenon of increasingly high importance, online gaming generates some of the Internet’s most popular and profitable content and has also experienced exponential growth in recent years. The relevance of this issue and the relative lack of research available both consolidate the appropriateness of this theme. The social mechanism to MMOGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Games) is perceived as both key to their attractiveness and a factor of differentiation in their success with corresponding attention to how game design can enhance this facet. Thus, this research aims to understand how the social mechanism present in MMOGs takes precedent over the range of pre-defined player objectives and play a key role in this type of game. For this purpose, two interviews were applied to two different publics: first, fifteen interviews were held with fifteen players of the MMOG Travian, with the second an interview with the game’s management in order to gather information both from those playing and those providing the game. The interviews were then analyzed using content analysis. It was found that the social mechanism overrides the achievement of goals by players and that it is acknowledged, harnessed, and strengthened by the management as a key factor in the success of Travian.

Abstract:
Games and gamification in the field of learning have become two featured topics of interest recently. While these two concepts have been around in different forms and fashion for decades, interest has reached a fever pitch in the last two decades. With the technological maturity of e-learning and the explosive popularity of online video games and eSports, exploring the application of these concepts is critically important, especially in the areas of intrinsic motivation, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Commercialization has resulted in the terms games and gamification being used interchangeably. The first step in moving forward with research into learning and the concepts of gaming and gamification is to distinguish these two terms, their impacts on learning, and to begin exploring appropriate and innovative applications in learning.

Abstract:
This chapter reflects on the concept of educational simulations and games applied to business and aims at describing how a Web-based competitive management game has helped to achieve that. The authors discuss their objectives and those of the game and outline their reasons for choosing it. They describe the context at ISCAL and the game’s main features, showing how it is played over a semester. The authors consider, as online simulation facilitators of what is predominantly a student-led learning process, that the game helps students to gain a real feel for collaboration, managerial decision-making, and teamwork.

Abstract:
PPurpose – the purpose of the current research was to investigate the influence of the experience of players and no-players on their purchasing behavior in a gamified purchasing setting. Research methodology – PLS-SEM has been employed to investigate the effect of gaming on consumer behavior and analyze the data gathered via the questionnaire distributed online. Findings – unlike studies in different domains, where the positive impact of game experience in a gamified learning environment and purchasing intention towards gamified products has been highlighted, the results of this research reveal the irrelevance of game experience in online purchasing behavior. Research limitations – firstly, no comparison has been made concerning the differences between board-games and online games. Secondly, the length of time spent playing has not been analyzed. Lastly, the research does not offer any insight regarding the country, nor compare online and offline buying behavior. Practical implications – eventually, game experience needlessly impacts the purchasing process in a gamified setting. Game design, personality, characteristics, cultural background and other attributes of the participants are an important caveat. Originality/Value – the research reveals stimulating results for scholars in the field of gamification, game elements, consumer behavior, and online purchasing

Abstract:
This paper introduces a computer-based online scenario game that was developed to enhance the learning of human resource management (HRM) in an undergraduate course at a business school in Finland. What makes this game unique is that students played an important and active role in developing the game in collaboration with lecturers. Our findings show that the game enhances learning, interaction, and collaboration among students. We discuss how computer-based games and their development in collaboration with students can be used as a means for learning and improving working-life skills in higher education.
