Over the last years, media entrepreneurship has evolved as a main topic 
within media management research. Currently, media entrepreneurship 
covers research topics like innovation, SMEs, family businesses, 
entrepreneurial orientation, financing entrepreneurs, 
entrepreneurship-entrepreneurs, female entrepreneurship and the 
entrepreneurship phenomenon as a whole. Thereby, scholars use a variety 
of management theories like strategic management (resource-based view, 
dynamic capabilities, etc.), systems theory, organizational learning or 
the strategic-fit-concept. The aim of the summer school is to highlight 
the interrelations between media entrepreneurship and other management 
theories to help young academics entering this developing research field.
The course will cover the main media management theories at the 
intersection with media entrepreneurship by discussing limitations and 
possibilities for future research topics. Additionally, several 
practitioners from the media industry will deepen the understanding of 
media entrepreneurship by sharing their experience of entrepreneurial 
activities in practice.

Program Structure:
In each morning session (9-12), different theories are being presented 
and discussed. After lunch, the doctoral students present their research 
projects and receive feedback from international senior faculty members 
and their peers. In the evenings, several networking events will take 
place to deepen earlier discussions and help building a doctoral community.
Jade University expects applications from doctoral students using 
entrepreneurship theory in a large variety of media research contexts 
such as innovation, communication, finance, strategic management, 
organizational learning, etc. Applicants are encouraged to express their 
interests of special sub-themes in context of entrepreneurship theory, 
which will be covered within the course.
Application:

Please submit a synopsis of 3-5 pages describing your doctoral research 
project (incl. research question, method used/planned, theoretical 
perspective), a cover letter briefly outlining what you would like to
