Information system (IS) gamification has been successful in many contexts. Yet, research shown gamification’s success to vary between individuals. In this paper, we compare personalized versus non-personalized a warehouse management setting. We devised 26-participant within-subject experiment which programmed goal setting and feedback elements into wearable evaluate the effectiveness of terms u...

The stumpage price is assumed to follow a stochastic Markov process. A stoch...
