“…Second, Libya is a highly collectivist society -scoring 80 on Hofstadter's collectivism index (Aharoni, 1992;Abubaker, 2008), as opposed to 35 for the more individualistic UK society (Obeidat, Shannak, Masa'deh, & Al-Jarrah, 2012 In Libya, the Gaddafi government gave considerable attention to people with a disability: laws were issued, institutions were established to provide care, special committees were formed for each kind of disability and social security laws were issued. Unfortunately, issuing laws without proper mechanisms for implementing them does not guarantee change in individual behaviour (Li & Wang, 2013;Martz, Strohmer, Fitzgerald, Daniel, & Arm, 2009).…”

“…Current literature of advergame effectiveness follows aspects concerned with the attitudes towards the advergame and the brand, which could be mediated by several factors (see Table 2). Product involvement [23][24][25], congruity [23,25,26], product-game congruity [27,28], flow [29,30], brand familiarity [31,32], arousal [29,33], brand fit [34] are the main factors related to advergame effectiveness.…”

“…While analysing advergame effectiveness, there are also issues related to the game itself. For instance, experiencing 'flow' in an advergames can be positive for consumers [29]. Since flow can be influenced by the balance between in-game challenges and player skills [36] and the level of telepresence inside games (i.e.…”

This paper presents the findings from a study of advergame design elements paying particular attention to cross-cultural consumer attitudes towards advergames and sponsored brands. From a thorough literature review, an integrated framework for advergames across cultures (CAKE) has been designed, composed of game design elements, brand perspectives and cultural characteristics. Utilising the CAKE framework, 40 mobile advergames from Brazil and the UK were studied through a content analysis, followed by an interview of 22 game players from both countries. Our findings illustrate a cultural difference in the attitudes towards advergames and preferences regarding familiar and popular elements inside the advergame. It is felt that the CAKE framework may prove itself suitable for the development of cross-cultural design in advergaming and future research in the area. Implications for advertisers, designers and developers are discussed.

“…Culture is typically viewed as the values, beliefs, and ideology of an organization or society [22][23][24]. It influences the way in which people behave [25,26]. A person's decision-making process is dependent on their cultural background according to what is considered 'the right way', highlighting the importance of culture [27].…”

Social Project Culture: A New Project Management Culture to Promote the Sustainable Development of Organizations

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

With economic development and globalization, more organizations have been cooperating with foreign enterprises, which brings not only opportunities but also management difficulties and competitions with organizations. Organizations must improve their management and adapt to changing market conditions and the requirements and needs of its customers to maintain and strengthen its position in the market. Management by Project (MBP) uses technical methods of modern project management (PM) to manage various tasks and activities that are considered as projects. It is an effective way to solve management problems and improve management levels and enterprise competitiveness. However, few small and medium-sized enterprises apply MBP in their operation and management processes. Therefore, this paper presents a new idea to promote the application of MBP and the formation of a PM culture within society. In this paper, we searched a major database using the systematic literature review method and analyzed the articles directly or indirectly linked to our paper to obtain literature supporting the views of this article. First, this paper presents a new kind of management culture from the social aspect, termed as Social Project Culture (SPC), which can promote sustainable development and improve the management level and efficiency of organizations by promoting MBP application across society. Second, by analyzing the SPC definition, its three functions, i.e., project management behavior, management and risk control capacity, and international competitiveness, are provided. Then, to help organizations apply this method, an evolutionary path is proposed, including the creation stage, formative stage, mature stage, and heritage stage. Finally, to ensure the continued optimization of SPC, four safeguard measures in terms of theory, institution, behavior, and ideology are proposed.
