Synopsis

In today's digital society, organizations must utilize technology in order to engage their audiences. Innovative game-like experiences are an increasingly popular way for businesses to interact with their customers; however, correctly implementing this technology can be a difficult task. To ensure businesses have the appropriate information available to successfully utilize gamification in their daily activities, further study on the best practices and strategies for implementation is required. The Handbook of Research on Gamification Dynamics and User Experience Design considers the importance of gamification in the context of organizations' improvements and seeks to investigate game design from the experience of the user by providing relevant academic work, empirical research findings, and an overview of the field of study. Covering topics such as digital ecosystems, distance learning, and security awareness, this major reference work is ideal for policymakers, technology developers, managers, government officials, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
