TRACK DESCRIPTION
Media firms face the central tension between the need to optimize and to innovate. Innovation is constantly needed as audiences are fragmenting as well as changing their preferences, and demand is rapidly declining. Thus, mechanisms must be developed to allow a multi-platform exploitation of content so that user preferences are fulfilled and returns from investments ensured. Information technology plays a key role within this context.
Newly emerged forms of news and, more in general, knowledge gathering, dissemination and consumption have been challenging traditional economic and working models during the past decade. These new forms are driven by mass creativity, interactive rather than passive consumption of media, erosion of industrial control over the means of production and the development of highly accessible new communication technologies. The implications of these emerging modes of practice have enormous potential for constructive growth and increased competitiveness within our economic system.
Media are therefore an interesting and worthwhile research object for both media and information technology scholars. Besides strategic management, innovation and technology management theories as well as concepts from disciplines such as sociology and psychology can be applied in order to better understand the impact of social media on the development of new business models, and on media user and consumer behavior. This track aims therefore at merging media management as well as information management and systems researchers to stimulate discussion around the current status as well as the future development of media from a technological, managerial, business as well as social point of view.
The proposed track will focus on (but is not limited to) topics such as - The role of information technology within the development of the media industry - The impact of information systems on the economics of the media business - Network and Lock-in effects on media industry structure and competition - Information systems and media convergence issues - The role of technology acceptance factors for the adoption and diffusion of technology driven media products - The role of content and information systems for the creation of new media business models - The interplay between technology and content, and their impact on media consumer choices - Information technology and the emergence of new media professions - The link between information systems and the development of data journalism - The impact of information systems on journalistic work and processes - Information technology, audience measurement and audience participation - Information technology and social media management
TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS
The proposed track on media management aims at attracting the full spectrum of submissions: - Completed papers that represent a mature, theory-driven and empirically validated research - Research-in-progress papers that explore emerging research areas and would profit from discussion and feedback at ECIS - Practical examples of technology sustained new media business models and managerial systems
PAPER SUBMISSIONS Research papers and research-in-progress papers are limited to 12 and 7 pages in length respectively, practical examples to 14 pages. All submissions must use the Word or the LaTeX template on the website and be submitted as PDF.
