  • Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: the Case of the Videogame Industry Par Shoma Patnaik
    HEC MONTRÉAL Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: The Case of the Videogame Industry par Shoma Patnaik Sciences de la gestion (Option International Business) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. Sc.) Décembre 2017 © Shoma Patnaik, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire a pour objectif une analyse des deux tendances très pertinentes dans le milieu du commerce d'aujourd'hui – l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation. L'innovation de rupture (en anglais, « disruptive innovation ») est particulièrement devenue un mot à la mode. Cependant, cela n'est pas assez étudié dans la recherche académique, surtout dans le contexte des affaires internationales. De plus, la théorie de l'innovation de rupture est fréquemment incomprise et mal-appliquée. Ce mémoire vise donc à combler ces lacunes, non seulement en examinant en détail la théorie de l'innovation de rupture, ses antécédents théoriques et ses liens avec l'internationalisation, mais en outre, en situant l'étude dans l'industrie des jeux vidéo, il découvre de nouvelles tendances industrielles et pratiques en examinant le mouvement ascendant des jeux mobiles et jeux en lignes. Le mémoire commence par un dessein des liens entre l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation, sur le fondement que la recherche de nouveaux débouchés est un élément critique dans la théorie de l'innovation de rupture. En formulant des propositions tirées de la littérature académique, je postule que les entreprises « disruptives » auront une vitesse d'internationalisation plus élevée que celle des entreprises traditionnelles. De plus, elles auront plus de facilité à franchir l'obstacle de la distance entre des marchés et pénétreront dans des domaines inconnus et inexploités.

  • PDF Lecture Notes
    AN INTRODUCTION TO Stylized Rendering in Games Morgan McGuire NVIDIA and Williams College July 26, 2010 SIGGRAPH 2010 Los Angeles, CA Edited July 25, 2010 1 Course Overview Games like Prince of Persia and Battlefield Heroes deliver artistic visions beyond standard photo-realistic 3D. In this course, game developers teach the challenges of creating distinctive visual styles for interactive environments and some of their own solutions. Topics include the art pipeline, rendering algorithms, and integrating visuals with gameplay. Why stylized rendering? As they matured, the visual arts (painting, sculpture, photography, and architecture) all developed new visual-abstraction mechanisms to go beyond "realism". Recent advances in visual effects have put film and games into this transitional state. In a sense, we're like artists at the end of the Renaissance: we've nearly mastered photorealism, but are only at the beginning of our discoveries about expression and perception. Some effects are subtle, like the color shifts and post-processing in Mirror's Edge. Others, such as the graphic-novel look of Prince of Persia, dominate the entire rendering style. In games, real-time and interactive constraints require more efficient and robust solutions than are employed elsewhere in computer graphics. And to be successful, a stylized renderer must integrate with appropriately stylized models, animation, and audio to form a coherent virtual world and ultimately enhance game play.

This will be done in my acknowledgements and unfortunately, it may not be enough to express the amount of gratitude I have for all the encouragement, guidance and help received. Firstly, Rudolf Arnheim’s literature inspired the inclusion of the topic of visual perception within this research on visual game world. He was an exceptional psychologist, theorist and writer, who created Art and Visual Perception and The Power of the Center. It is an honour to study and apply his perceptual theories into the medium of video games. Secondly, I would like to thank the Professor and Chair, Vibeke Sorenson, for this wonderful opportunity to conduct a research within the School of Art, Design, and Media.
