Abstract

This paper concentrates on the possibilities offered by gamification in practice-based innovation activities. It addresses the following research questions: How does gamification enhance creativity in practice-based innovation? How can gamification be modified into a method that facilitates experiences of gamefulness? A case study presented in the paper examines the impact of gamification in co-creating a value-adding network for open innovation processes between organizations. The results indicate that gamification can be developed into a successful method that enhances creativity and interaction among collaborators.
