    Disruptive Innovations in Book Publishing - Threat or Opportunity?
    (Common Ground Publishing, 2010-04-18)
    From the perspective of disruptive innovations it discusses the arrival of digital reading devices (like Amazon's Kindle, Sony e-reader etc.) and the challenges they bring to book publishing companies. Empirical data source comes from qualitative expert interviews with European publishers, which indicate that most managers are not seeing risks associated with digital formats by assuming that the market of devices and book readers themselves are not ready for switching to digital formats - like it was the case in the music industry.

    JMM Forum : Directions in current media management research
    (Routledge, 2010-06-08) ;
    Shaver, Dan
    Media management is a young discipline that is generating a body of interesting research published in academic books and journals and presented at numerous international conferences. Scholarly associations support media management and economics (MME) research by sponsoring MME divisions and associations dedicated to the topic in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. To encourage more discussion and exchange of ideas between members of this diverse audience, we are starting a forum for discussion and dialogue about topics addressing the future directions, open issues, and relevance of media management. To initiate the discussion, the editors have invited the leaders of four academic associations that represent media management scholars around the world to submit editorials. In the following pages you will find contributions from Gracie Lawson-Borders, Chair of the Media Management and Economics Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication; Aldo van Weezel, President of the Latin American Media Management Association; Yu Guoming, President of the Chinese Academy of Media Economy and Management; and Lucy Küng, President of the European Media Management and Education Association. They were asked to address any topic or issue that the writer feels is being neglected, misinterpreted, or even over-studied and that should be considered by other scholars in the field. The essays represent a starting point for more extended discussion in these pages of issues raised by those four authors.

    Media and communities provide the focal point for this issue. We can find here many ways in which media researchers can define the term ?communities? and articles included in this issue reflect the definitions of this. Needles to say that all of them find the concept of communities highly important within media management

    In this issue we focus on branding and its importance in the field of media management. Brands have become an inextricable part of our everyday lives. Many brands have been around for more than a century, but the past decades have seen many displaced by new names, such as Microsoft and Nokia: the flagship brands of new media industries
