Motivation To Participate

Increasing digitalization and new technological possibilities also entail substantial changes for working methods in the B2B (business-to-business) environment in banking. In this context, the concept of co-creation is critical. Although this concept and the motivation factors behind it have been thoroughly investigated in the B2C (business-to-consumer) sector, only a few research results exist for the B2B context. This study aims to bridge the current knowledge gap and investigate individuals’ motivation to participate in B2B co-creation. By using a case study and qualitative interviews, this study focuses on two aspects: (a) It reveals how a co-creation measure is used in practice in the B2B environment; and (b) it provides information on the motivation factors and outcome from the point of view of the participants in the B2B co-creation project. The paper concludes with an integrative model of the main motivation factors behind B2B co-creation and their effects.

This case study tells the personal story of how an American orphan's life experiences and passion to give back led to the building of an orphanage in Mexico for abandoned children. As we expand international collaboration as part of humanitarian efforts, global competencies can provide a framework for deeper understanding of the issues we are addressing, an awareness and sensitivity to different cultures, and mutual respect for different opinions. The work done in Mexico demonstrates that, working together, we can make a difference in the lives of children who come from deplorable living conditions.

Service Standards

The constant changes in service standards sharply affect private schools, organizations offering services deemed essential. This context promotes, in effect, a new customer profile, demanding better quality of service, and making use of greater autonomy. Thus, these services are affected by strategies established by senior management. This article’s objective is to analyze how strategies developed in a private school reflect on the quality of offered services, according to the managers’ point of view. Focusing on education services, the formulation, development and control of strategies were analyzed using three directors from one school. To undertake the case study, interviews were conducted, using a subsequent comparative analysis. It was revealed that all employees acknowledge the school’s organizational identity, in addition to a strategic planning process performed at a national level, serving as a basis for development strategies. The three interviewed managers serve different functions, yet the results indicate that despite working in different activities, they seek to maintain harmony when conducting scholastic activities, providing support to existing arrangements. Finally, it can be established that each one, within his/her vision and responsibilities, is working strategically to ensure organizational objectives. Arrangements are made to communicate the principal strategies, in addition, seeking to promptly resolve any interference that may affect the smooth progress of established action plans.

The Third Person

AbstrakPoint of view dalam desain game erat kaitannya dengan karakter, visualisasi, dan kamera. Seperti first person point of view dimana pemain menjadi karakter dalam game dengan penggunaan kamera yang memperlihatkan perspektif dari karakter game yang dimainkan. Third person point of view yaitu pemain mengontrol karakter sehingga penggunaan kamera memperlihatkan karakter yang dikontrol dan interaksinya dengan environment game. Dua point of view itu adalah point of view yang dikenal dalam desain game. Jika pemain bisa menjadi dan mengontrol karakter, bagaimana jika pemain tidak bisa menjadi maupun mengontrol karakter?. Karakteristik ini disebut sebagai fourth person point of view, istilah yang pertama kali digunakan oleh game Pavilion dalam materi promosinya. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membahas karakteristik permainan fourth person point of view, dan perbandingannya dengan point of view lainnya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian studi kasus yang membahas mengenai game Pavilion dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa play-testing game, wawancara dan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa point of view dalam game memiliki kaitan dengan genre dan style game. Pada studi kasus game Pavilion karakteristik fourth person point of view dapat digunakan karena game tidak berfokus pada eksplorasi cerita dan karakter. Kata kunci: fourth person point of view, game design, game Pavilion AbstractPoint of view in game design is closely related to character, visualization, and use of in-game cameras. First person point of view means that the player becomes the character in the game, and the camera only shows the perspective from the character’s eyes. The meaning of the third person point of view is the player controls the character, the camera shows the character entirely so the player can see how the character interacts within the environment. These two points of view are basically known in game design. If a player can become and control a character, what if the player cannot become or control the character? This characteristic is called as the fourth person point of view, the term that was first used by game Pavilion in its promotional material. The purpose of this research is to discuss the characteristics of the fourth person point of view, and the comparison with another point of view. This is a case study research that discusses the Pavilion game with data collection techniques through play-testing the game, interviews, and literature studies. The result of the study shows that the point of view in the game has to do with genre and game style. Moreover, the case study of game Pavilion shows that its characteristic of fourth person point of view is appropriate because the game does not focus on the exploration of story and character.
