*About IMMAA*
IMMAA (International Media Management Academic Association) is a global 
association of academics researching critical issues of media management 
with the goal of improving practice and understanding of media markets 
and institutions for the ultimate benefit of media managers and the 
students who will be the media managers of the future. Its diverse 
international membership fosters and promotes an appreciation for the 
differences among countries and cultures that contribute to 
characteristics that differentiate national media markets and shape 
relationships among them. Past conferences were held in Chicago, San 
Francisco, Saarbrücken, New York, Lisbon, Pamplona, Moscow, Seoul, Sao 
Paulo and Stuttgart.

*About IMMAA 2019 Conference - Media Management and Innovation*

The IMMAA 2019 Conferencewelcomes contributions from diverse 
perspectives. Papers are encouraged to examine practical examples in 
case study approaches and all qualitative and quantitative approaches to 
research. Prioritization will be given to papers related to three key 
dimensions:
1 - Conceptual investigations that deconstruct the concept of 
‘innovation’. What is innovation at a time when new has become the norm? 
How has research about media innovation and its management evolved over 
time? To what extent is media innovation dependent on technology, and 
what matters beyond technology? How can policy support media innovation? 
What do the global North-South dichotomy and its narratives tell us 
about media management and innovation?
2 - Empirical explorations that open discussion about the results of 
experimentation and investigations pertaining to creative media outputs, 
creative media models, creative processes and procedures in media 
organizations- and how to manage all of this effectively. How are media 
institutions prepare and cope with an evolving media environment with 
changing patterns of consumption?
3 - Academic queries pertaining to the education of media management in 
ways that are innovative in pedagogy and curricular design. How is the 
media management curriculum evolving to embrace today’s dynamic industry 
environment? How do media schools and programs prepare students to work 
as competent managers in a dynamic environment that is increasingly 
global and cross-cultural?

Papers that address more general issues related to the below themes are 
also welcome.
