Addressing social inequalities and fostering holistic well-being has never been more pressing. As people grapple with environmental challenges and navigate the complexities of human interactions, the need for a paradigm shift in how businesses are managed becomes vital. Seeking to confront the profound issue at the heart of our societal fabric — the need for organizations, both public and private, to transcend conventional practices— emerges Game-Based Education Approaches to Inclusive Business Management as a tool for change. The book advocates for a transformative approach that integrates game-based learning and working methodologies to instigate a shift towards inclusivity, social responsibility, and overall well-being. Scholars, academics, practitioners, and those passionate about reshaping our societal fabric are invited to contribute to this collective effort, shaping a future where inclusivity and well-being are not mere ideals but integral components of business management. Grounded in the understanding that the fate of our planet hinges not only on environmental responsibility but also on the quality of human interactions within our work environments, this book ventures into uncharted territory. The objective is clear: to dissect the challenges impeding inclusive practices in business management. By melding research with game-based methodologies, the book seeks to uncover solutions that transcend traditional boundaries. It endeavors to examine the complexities of reducing inequalities and fostering inclusivity by delving into organizational, economic, and personal perspectives. The fusion of game-based learning and game-based working emerges as a driving force for promoting organizational well-being, challenging existing norms, and paving the way for a future where inclusivity is not just an aspiration but an intrinsic aspect of business management.

In Diversifying Barbie and Mortal Kombat, the third edited volume in the series that includes From Barbie to Mortal Kombat and Beyond Barbie and Mortal Kombat, we expand the discussions on gender, race, and sexuality in gaming. We include intersectional perspectives on the experiences of diverse players, non-players and designers and promote inclusive designs for broadening access and participation in gaming, design and development. Contributors from media studies, gender studies, game studies, educational design, learning sciences, computer science, and game development examine who plays, how they play, where and what they play, why they play (or choose not to play), and with whom they play. This volume further explores how we can diversify access, participation and design for more inclusive play and learning.
