HBS students seeking study participants

November 21st, 2006

There’s a Harvard Business School team working on a study about virtual worlds for their classes, and they’re looking for help from YOU!

We are students at The Harvard Business School studying virtual worlds for our Entrepreneurial Marketing class. We are very interested in interviewing a few people that are avid users of either Habbo Hotel or Second Life. We are hoping to conduct 45 minute to 1 hour interviews over the phone if possible. It may also be possible for us to conduct the interview over an instant messenger service, but we would prefer to do the interview over the phone. If anyone is interested and would be willing to spend an hour with us we can send them a $50 gift card of their choice after completing the interview. Please contact our team: HBSVirtualWorlds@gmail.com

I know we have SLers here… any Habbos hanging around? And hey, if you are in either community, why not repost this to some community forums?

    I am very jealous of the students at HBS. I can defiantly see why this would be a great thing for young entrepreneurs to study, however I need to find a way to convince the socially department at my school to do some virtual world study.

    I would love to tackle sociological questions from a virtual world perspective.

    I can see some parallels between SL and the dotcom (and South Sea) bubble.

    I suppose Harvard might be interested in short-term profits from cannabalistic feeding.
