CALL FOR PAPERS

Innovation and Media: Managing Changes in Technology, Products, and Processes


Papers are being sought for presentation at an international workshop to be held in Stockholm, Sweden, November 11-12, 2005. The workshop is sponsored by the Media Management and Transformation Centre at Jönköping International Business School (Jönköping University), Europe's premier centre on media business issues.

The main objective of the workshop is to promote discussions on how media companies are currently embracing innovation, the levels at which they are doing so, and how their development needs can be best met in the future.

Papers should demonstrate and build upon an understanding of the issues and strategies that bind media firms to new processes and technologies and offer clear guidelines on how media companies can accelerate growth through effective internal and external collaboration.
