  • 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.

  • Backgrounder: AIIDE 07 Invited Speakers
    Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence 445 Burgess Drive Menlo Park, CA 94025 (650) 328-3123 www.aaai.org For press inquiries only, contact: Sara Hedberg (206) 232-1657 (office) [email protected] Backgrounder: AIIDE 07 Invited Speakers 1 of 6 AiLive's LiveMove and LiveCombat Wolff Daniel Dobson and John Funge (AiLive Inc.) This talk describes the successfully productization of the state-of-the-art statistical machine learning technology to create LiveMove and LiveCombat. LiveMove is a groundbreaking artificial intelligence product that enables the Wii Remote to learn. Instead of complicated programming, developers need only take a few minutes to train Wii controllers through examples. Nintendo now sublicenses and promotes LiveMove to Wii developers around the world. Our other product, LiveCombat, gives developers and players the power to build AI characters that learn how to behave by observing the actions of human players. AI characters learn in seconds to be trusted companions or deadly foes. The talk will include many anecdotes and observations from lessons learned (often the hard way) along the way. Wolff Daniel Dobson received his PhD in computer science from Northwestern University, specializing in artificial intelligence and intelligent user interfaces. At Visual Concepts Entertainment, he constructed emotional behavior on NBA2K for Dreamcast, and then became colead for artificial intelligence on NBA2K1 (garnering a Metacritic.com score of 93). For the past 5 years he has worked for AiLive Inc., a startup devoted to next-generation artificial intelligence in games. Working as a designer, producer, engineer, and artist Wolff has been instrumental in developing two commercial products, LiveMove and LiveCombat, that bring groundbreaking real-time machine learning technology to the computer entertainment industry.

  • STS145 Paper
    STS145 Paper - From Populous to Dungeon Keeper A Tale of God Games Po-Wen Joseph Huang 3/15/2001 Introduction Computer game design houses can usually be categorized into two types: the ones who follow the existing ideas and the ones consistently creating games that set new benchmarks or even creating new genres along the way. The company Bullfrog belongs to the second category. In the late 1980s, Bullfrog released a game called Populous that signified the beginning of a new genre that had tremendous impact on the computer industry still in its infancy. The genre was later referred to as God games. The basic concept of God games is simple - the gamers can decide the fate of the followers by changing terrains and cast magic that may cause catastrophe. The ultimate goal is usually to make followers thrive and to defeat followers of the other gods (the competitors). Bullfrog subsequently released many God games with different variations such as Powermonger, Magic Carpet, and Dungeon Keeper. Peter Molyneux, the founder of Bullfrog, was the person responsible for the creation of Populous. He created many award winning games during his years at Bullfrog and Dungeon Keeper was his last game designed before he left Bullfrog. Dungeon Keeper was a game that challenged the traditional idea that players are heroes in games. Electronic Arts, after acquiring Bullfrog, published the game in 1997. It was a good example of God game as well as a perfect example of the conflicting goals between game designers wanting to produce a 'perfect' game and business people who need to look after their shareholders' interests.

Los mismos nunca se imaginaron que en tan poco tiempo iban a tener que complementarse, acompañar y hasta temer en muchísimos aspectos a este nuevo actor. Este nuevo partícipe ha generado en solamente unas décadas de vida, una profunda revolución con implicancias sociales, culturales y económicas, creando nuevos e interesantes modelos de negocio los cuales van cambiando en períodos cada vez más cortos. A diferencia del crecimiento lento y progresivo de la radio, el cine y luego la televisión, el videojuego ha alcanzado en apenas medio siglo de vida ser objeto de gran interés e inversión de diferentes rubros, y semejante logro ha ido creciendo a través de transformaciones, aceptación general y evoluciones constantes del concepto mismo de videojuego. Los videojuegos, como indica Provenzo, E. (1991), son algo más que un producto informático, son además un negocio para quienes los manufacturan y los venden, y una empresa comercial sujeta, como todas, a las fluctuaciones del mercado.
