Emotional contagion (EC) in games may provide players with an unique experience. We have developed a turn-based role playing prototype game which incorporates a model based on the EC process. While playing, users have the opportunity to observe the effects of emotional events on individual characters and on the group through simulated emotional contagion dynamics.

Implementing information technology projects requires a calculated process to prevent failure. At the same time application of information technology in organizations faces various potential risks. Exploring information technology environment in organizations reveals the potential risks and provides a structure for comprehensive risk management. There are various methods available for risk mana...
