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

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.
