Agnessa Spanellis is a Senior Lecturer in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Edinburgh's Business School, where she directs the Gamification and Systems Thinking Lab (GST-lab). Her research focuses on applying gamification and systems thinking to address complexity in decision-making, sustainability, and organizational learning, with a particular emphasis on marginalized communities.
- Current Projects: Exploring solar PV adoption in Indonesia (British Council), AI-enhanced gamification for policy co-creation (ESRC-IAA), and pandemic/natural hazard preparedness in Colombia, Guyana, Indonesia, and Brazil (AHRC/GCRF/EPSRC).
- Research Interests: Gamification, socio-materiality, net-zero transition, serious games, simulations, organizational innovation, and ethical consumption.
Her work bridges gamified environments with algorithmic decision-support systems, aiming to democratize policy-making and enhance sustainability. Publications appear in Organization Studies, Academy of Management Annals, and Management Learning.
Recent Research Trends: Spanellis's 15 most recent outputs emphasize gamification for sustainability (15/15), citizen policy co-creation (12/15), and socio-technical systems (10/15). Key subfields include solar energy adoption (9/15), indigenous community engagement (8/15), and algorithmic transparency (7/15).
Collaborations: Works with rural, indigenous, and impoverished communities across four continents, integrating gamification into organizational practices and public policy frameworks.
