CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue on “Strategic Management in the Media Industries” (Deadline 4/15/18)

Special Issue of the Journal of Media Business Studies 

on 

“Strategic Management in the Media Industries”

Special Issues Editor:

Sabine Baumann – Jade University, Germany

 DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: April 15, 2018 

The media industries are going through a period of accelerating change, transformation and disruption driven by rapid technology developments. Obviously, these developments have profound effects on management strategies and industry development. Articles from media management and media economics scholars have studied the phenomenon mostly from empirical angles, while general and strategic management scholars have used media abundantly as a field of investigation for theory-building, but not for advancing insights about the functioning of the industries per se. What seems to be missing is a stronger scholarly exchange in order to tap into the mutual synergies by introducing advanced theories of strategic management to studies of media sectors.

The aim of this special issue on Strategic Management in the Media Industries is (1) to advance our understanding of the media industry by examining specificities of strategic management and strategy work in the media context, and (2) to shed light on the strategic approaches of media firms to manage the challenges and threats of a high-velocity business environment, in order to (3) advance strategic media management theory.

Specific topics of relevance to this special issue and upon which submissions are invited include, but are not limited to:

• How do ecosystems in the media industries differ from other industry sectors in terms of their strategic management?

• How does research on the specificities of the media industries challenge or expand theories in strategic management?

• How can media firms build and maintain competitive advantage in a changing world characterized by increasing uncertainty, complexity and competition?

• How can strategic management research in the areas of platform markets, networks, multi-sided markets, ambidexterity, sharing, and crowdfunding be applied to the media industries?

• How can theories from strategic management explain particular strategic leadership challenges faced by media companies?

• How can the strategic drivers of family firms and other ownership forms in the media industries be explained?

• What can other technology-driven industries affected by vertical unbundling and industry convergence learn from strategic management of media organizations?

The deadline for submissions is April 15, 2018. Please mark your submission as special issue submission. Questions regarding the special issue can be directed to the guest editor sabine.baumann@jade-hs.de.

Full details about the journal and the prescribed format for manuscript submissions can be found at: http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/romb.

Reminder: AEJMC Deadline Approaching & Tips on Submission

As we are quickly approaching the AEJMC paper deadline, we wanted to gently remind paper submitters to please take the extra time to clean your papers of any self-identifying information. We want to enjoy the benefit of everyone’s research and avoid any disqualifications. One way to ensure this is to finish the paper 1-2 days before the deadline, providing enough time to double check before submission.
Here are some additional resources and tips:

1) See the “Removing Hidden Information from Microsoft Office Files” on the “Paper Presenter Resources” section of the AEJMC website located at http://www.aejmc.org/home/scholarship/paper-presenter-resources/.

2) Remember, that the act of creating a .pdf can lead to the addition of author identifying properties, and therefore it is recommended you use the “Redact” tool in Adobe Acrobat to double check all .pdfs. The “Redact” tool presents two options for removing author info:

“Sanitize Document” or “Remove Hidden Information.”

3) Replace any in-text citation of your own work, or the work of a co-author with:

(cite withheld for blind review)

It is not necessary to provide the year of the withheld citation, as this could potentially tip off the reviewer to an author’s identity.

4) Remove any reference at the end of the document that is to your own work, or the work of a co-author. It is acceptable to remove the reference from the works cited completely, and add it back after the paper has been accepted. If you would prefer you could also list under the “C” section of your reference list:

Cite withheld for blind review. Reference information will be added pending paper acceptance.

5) Remove any reference to your institution from the document.

6) All submissions must be made via the All Academic system. Detailed information on how to submit your paper, and the full paper call can be found here: http://aejmc.org/events/dc18/papercall/

If you have any other questions about self-identification or how to clean your paper that is not covered above, please do not hesitate to contact MMEE Research Co-Chairs Ronen Shay, rshay@sjfc.edu, or Kelly Kaufhold, kellykaufhold@txstate.edu

We look forward to your submissions!

AEJMC Reviewer Call 2018

The Media Management, Economics, and Entrepreneurship Division (MMEE) of AEJMC is on the lookout for reviewers for this year’s national convention in Washington D.C. New this year, we will be acknowledging the hard work of our dedicated reviewers by presenting a top reviewer award.

If you volunteer to be a judge, you will be assigned 3-5 papers to read and evaluate in mid- to late April. The judging process is blind and conducted online using the All Academic Web site. The number of papers assigned to each judge will depend on the number of papers submitted and the number of volunteer judges.

If you are interested please fill out the form located at: https://goo.gl/forms/kqjnSUb2YiE7r49o2.

Also, please make sure to create an account at the 2018 All Academic website located at: https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/aejmc/aejmc18/. Even if you reviewed papers for us last year, a new account is needed, as the All-Academic website is unique each year.

If you are not sure whether you will be submitting a paper this year, please consider volunteering anyway, as we can always remove your name later. As always, being a reviewer for MMEE does not prevent you from submitting or reviewing for other divisions.

We would also appreciate if you considered sharing this form with colleagues who you feel can judge papers on media management, economics, or entrepreneurship. They do not need to be a member of the division to review. For questions about reviewing, contact MMEE Research Co-Chairs Ronen Shay, rshay@sjfc.edu, or Kelly Kaufhold, kellykaufhold@txstate.edu

New Opportunities for Media Industry Research @ AEJMC 2018

As our division prepares to receive your submissions for the 2018 AEJMC conference in Washington D.C. August 6-9, 2018, we would like to make you aware of some new opportunities for research with professional implications.

AEJMC Research Prize for Professional Relevance

The 2016-18 AEJMC Presidential Task Force on Bridges to the Professions has established the AEJMC Research Prize for Professional Relevance to foster stronger ties between media professionals and educators. This award will recognize top AEJMC conference papers that bring newfound clarity and insight to emerging media industry practices, cultures and business imperatives. A committee of judges will select winning papers and invite winners to present their papers at the 2018 AEJMC conference in Washington, D.C. First prize will be awarded $1,000 and a certificate, while second and third prizes will be awarded certificates. If the winning paper has multiple authors, the prize will be distributed equally among co-authors.

The award will be administered via the normal AEJMC paper submission process. Divisions, commissions and interest groups will complete their own review process as usual and then forward their most promising accepted papers pertaining to professional relevance to the award committee, which will conduct a separate review process for the prize. All entries will be blind judged. Judges will not have access to any identifying information about authors. The judges reserve the right not to award prizes. Competition results will be announced by June 30, 2018. 

For more information on the AEJMC Research Prize for Professional Relevance and its eligibility criteria please visit: http://www.aejmc.org/home/2018/01/prize-for-professional-relevance/

MMEE Special Topic Competition

In the spirit of supporting the AEJMC Research Prize for Professional Relevance and its wider goal of fostering stronger ties between media practitioners and academics, we at MMEE are proud to announce our first special topics competition. This year when you log into AEJMC All-Academic, researchers submitting to MMEE will be able to choose between our traditional “open competition” and our new “special topic competition”. This year’s special topic competition will be dedicated to media industry research that addresses the topic of: Agencies. For example, appropriate submissions might include scholarship on best practices for creatives at public relations or advertising agencies, applied analytics, message testing, successful campaign results, and other media agency related topics. While all papers submitted to both the “open competition” and “special topic competition” are automatically eligible for the AEJMC Research Prize for Professional Relevance, authors who would like their submissions forwarded to the award committee are encouraged to include the keywords “professional relevance” when submitting papers to the conference.

For more information on both competitions please see the 2018 MMEE Call for Papers located at:
https://mmedivision.wordpress.com/2018/01/26/mmee-2018-call-for-papers/

It is our hope that these new initiatives will offer you more choice while simultaneously shining a light on the strong media industry research being conducted by our membership. For questions about submissions, contact MMEE Research Co-Chairs Ronen Shay, rshay@sjfc.edu, or Kelly Kaufhold, kellykaufhold@txstate.edu
