[Commlist] cfp - 2020 World Media Economics and Management Conference (WMEMC) - Polarization in Media Industries

Mon Jun 24 13:42:38 GMT 2019






The 2020 World Media Economics and Management Conference (WMEMC) will take place in Rome, Italy on May 20-24. The conference theme is Polarization in Media Industries. The conference is organized by the Luiss School of Business and Management. The media industry is experiencing extreme disruption. The way content is created and distributed has changed dramatically. Media companies are rethinking business models, audience behaviors and company strategies. The changes are driven by changing consumer demands driven by the globalization and digitalization of media industries. Algorithms are influencing consumption and big data are increasingly a key economic and strategic resource. The changes post significant challenges and create opportunities, and court reasonable risk. Disruption explains the rapid growth of small media companies flourishing in niche markets and consolidation of diversified global conglomerates that enjoy economies of scale and scope that facilitate enormous market power that are now difficult competitors for national operators. The competitive environment is becoming polarized -- the theme of WMEMC 2020. Conference organizers invite scholarly original submissions that investigate and develop insight about phenomena, trends and dynamics relevant to the conference theme. The conference welcomes quantitative and qualitative research, especially work that is interdisciplinary, both empirical and thought leadership options that develop understandings of current dynamics and future trends in media industries. Abstracts (300 - 500 words) should be submitted via the conference website http://wmemc2020.luiss.it/ Submissions are accepted as PDF uploads and should not contain diagrams, tables or images, although these may be added when submitting the full paper. Abstracts will be accepted from July 1st through September 8th. Selection is done by an international Scientific Committee based on the relevance of the topic to the theme and the scholarly value to the field.
Early Bird registration will begin August 26.
