Within our research, we iteratively developed a business board game that contributes to give a more elaborate and realistic user experience for a complex cooperative situation and the strategy development in a community cloud. With action research, the game closely fits to a relevant defined problem and we validated its efficacy within a workshop with expert IT practitioners. Finally, we conclude with benefits for academic research and practical implementations.enText/Conference Paper1617-5468
