MBA Class Overview:
The Open MBA Class in question will attempt to shed light on the technique of gamification as a modern tool in engaging employees and customers. The principles of gamification will be discussed and how excitement (hence commitment) can develop through the use of the 10 game mechanics, the six-step method that can be employed, and the psychology behind such an effort. Examples will be presented of success stories involving gamification in a number of industries, ranging from the hotel and hospitality industry to retailing.
Why to join:
Participants will be exposed to the principles behind gamification, the step-by-step method that could be followed, and a number of recent cases that have boosted the performance and revenue of organizations.
In the frame of the Open Class, participants will have the opportunity to attend a short presentation of the Pan-European Executive MBA, a dual degree MBA programme, leading to two MBA degrees, one from the British University of York and one from the French University of Strasbourg.
