The content is both interdisciplinary, combining a number of different academic disciplines (strategy, media technology, marketing, finance, media studies, etc.) and multisectoral, exploring the interrelationship between developments in related industries.
JMM Vol.7/2 is open for submission. We welcome articles for both Focus Theme section and General Research section.
Focus Theme: Researching Global Media Conglomerates
Guest Editor: Prof. Alan Albarran, University of North Texas
The media industries are dominated by a number of large conglomerates whose interests and activities cut across many individual market segments such as publishing, audiovisual (TV and radio), film, sound recordings, and the Internet. Aside from these activities, what do we really know about these global media conglomerates? This issue of the International Journal on Media Management seeks original research that provides a basis for understanding the activities of global media companies. All research methodologies and perspectives are welcome, but papers that offer a theoretical foundation as well as an analytical focus are preferred.
Manuscripts are solicited on topics including:
- Concentration and consolidation of media markets and industries
- Assessing the power of media conglomerates at a global level
- Strategies of global media companies
- Managerial issues facing global media companies
- The role of public policy in assessing global media conglomerates
- Specific industry or company case studies involving global media companies
