Frei nach dem Aphorismus Edmund Burkes: „Spielen ist dem Menschen innewohnendes Prinzip.“ ist der Spieltrieb im Bewusstsein der Menschen tief verwurzelt. Dieser Umstand birgt im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung Chancen, insbesondere in Unternehmen und Community-Netzwerken, eine verstärkte Partizipation anzuregen. Gamification versucht dieses inhärente Potential von Spielen nutzbringend und gezielt einzusetzen. Dies soll durch den Einsatz von spieltypischen Elementen in einem spielfremden Kontext erreicht werden1. Durch die Spielbarmachung von Tätigkeiten mittels deren spielerischer Gestaltung werden sich positive Motivationseffekte erhofft2. Zu den bekanntesten Spielelementen zählen Punkte, Abzeichen, Ranglisten und Fortschrittsanzeigen. Das vorliegende Paper greift diese Gedanken auf und wirft die Frage auf, wie die Beteiligung von Community-Mitgliedern durch Gamification gefördert werden kann. Ferner werden ein entwickeltes Gamification-Kategoriensystem für eine Business-to-Business (B2B)-Community sowie zentrale Ergebnisse dieser Studie in Form von sieben Handlungsempfehlungen präsentiert. [Aus der Einleitung.]

A pesquisa analisa as formas e estratégias de expansão da Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo da Fundação Getúlio Vargas (EAESP-FGV), tanto em sua relação com o Estado brasileiro quanto com o mundo empresarial e educacional na atualidade. De início, apresentam-se alguns aspectos da trajetória histórica da FGV visando situar a criação da EAESP e, nela, os cursos de Administração de Empresas e de Administração Pública. Essa moldura permite demonstrar a construção simbólica do nome da FGV em relação aos cursos citados, inquirindo acerca de questões relativas à tradição desses cursos e dos grupos sociais que os frequentam como também a proximidade da instituição com outros campos sociais (estatal, empresarial, educacional). Os dados relativos aos professores atuais dos cursos de Administração de Empresas e de Administração Pública constituem a base para a construção dos seus perfis profissionais, demonstrando a multiposicionalidade em esferas estatais e privadas, bem como a variação desses perfis no interior da instituição. Assim, a EAESP aparece como exemplo da vinculação entre o processo de formação universitária (mercado educacional), o setor profissional e as funções do Estado. Nesse sentido, acredita-se que a FGV reflete um modo de relação entre o Estado, o setor empresarial e o mercado educacional que constitui a fonte de seu valor simbólico. / This study aims to analyze the performance at Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo da Fundação Getúlio Vargas (EAESP-FGV) [School of Business Administration of São Paulo]. Our goal is to study the expansion forms and strategies of EAESP, school linked to FGV, both in its relation with the Brazilian State and with the business and educational world at the present time. In it, I reconstruct historically the location of Fundação Getúlio Vargas in the last decades and its position between the academy and the administrator and economist profession institutionalization and the rationalization discourse of Brazilian politics. The historiographical reconstruction of the FGV allows us to think about the issues of both the tradition of these study programs and the social groups that attend them, as well as the proximity of the institution with other social fields (state, business and education) and how this history directs the actual performance of the institution. Through a data survey on the trajectories and profiles of all EAESP professors and their partnerships with the three state spheres and with some private companies, we demonstrate the internal logic of the institution and how it intends to position itself against other education institutions, as well as in the business and state environment of São Paulo and Brazil.

This study was undertaken to identify the most decisive variables in the successful employment of a Computer-Based Management Information System (CBMIS) in a developing country such as Iran. A descriptive model was designed. Using a series of predictive models, several dimensions of successful CBMIS employment were investigated. Data were collected via a questionnaire sent to 79 Iranian governmental computer installations. Questions posed by the study are: (1) Under what conditions should a developing country continue to operate manually? (2) If computerization is feasible, what should the acquisition criteria be? (3) What are the most important variables for optimum utilization of existing computers? (4) What are the most important variables for the timely and efficient implementation of a CBMIS? (5) Should a developing country employ standardization in data collection? In data transmission? In hardware selection? In software selection? (6) How should a developing country choose the manufacturer of computer technology? (7) How can experience-sharing among installations by improved? (8) How can the reliability of the provided information be improved? The usefulness? Responsiveness of the CBMIS? Utilization of the provided information? Adaptability of the existing CBMIS to the growing technology? To answer these questions, a series of multiple regression models were run, using four different methods: forced entry, backward elimination, forward entry, and stepwise selection. Analyses showed that of the 54 variables originally hypothesized to be significant, 24 were, in fact, significant at the 5% level. It also demonstrated seven circumstances under which a change to automation in a developing country would not be advisable.
