[ecrea] AEJMC 2017 Call for Papers: Media Management, Economics and Entrepreneurship Division

AEJMC 2017 Call for Papers: Media Management, Economics and 
Entrepreneurship Division

The Media Management, Economics, and Entrepreneurship Division (MMEE) 
invites original research paper submissions to be considered for 
presentation at the 2017 AEJMC conference in Chicago, IL August 9-12, 
2017. Researchers interested in any aspect of media management, media 
economics or entrepreneurship are encouraged to submit papers. The 
division welcomes the use of diverse theoretical and methodological 
approaches to relevant topics. Papers presented at the Midwinter 
Conference and then revised also are welcome for submission.
Faculty and student papers compete on an equal footing. The division 
gives named awards to recognize the top three submissions from faculty, 
and the top three from graduate students (faculty members cannot be 
included on student competition papers). Top graduate papers also 
receive monetary awards to help offset the cost of attending the conference.

For the 2017 conference we particularly encourage submissions addressing 
strategic management aspects and necessary business model changes of 
media firms to deal with accelerating change, transformation and 
disruption driven by rapid technology developments. Topics include 
differences of ecosystems in the media industries compared to other 
industry sectors, business models for platform markets, success factors 
in multi-sided media markets, applications of ambidexterity, sharing, or 
crowdfunding in the media industries, strategic leadership challenges 
faced by media companies, or the strategic drivers of the large family 
firms in the media industries. Other examples of relevant topics in 
media management and economics are: media ownership, management and 
economic issues from the public-interest perspective (e.g., effects on 
reporting or content); policy issues from a legal, regulatory or 
economic perspective; technology and its effects on management or 
economics; political economy; international and cross-cultural studies; 
the sociology and culture of media organizations; teaching media 
management and economics; and other related topics.

In 2014 the division changed its name to expand its focus on 
entrepreneurship. We also encourage and welcome submissions within the 
following topics: opportunities and challenges for media startups; 
intrapreneurship and innovation within legacy media companies; role of 
higher education in the context of media entrepreneurship; and other 
media entrepreneurship related topics. Please note that advertising 
and/or public relations companies are not considered 'media firms' by 
MMEE Division; therefore, papers on the management of advertising 
agencies and/or public relations agencies should be submitted to the 
Advertising Division or Public Relations Division. Papers not 
appropriate for the MMEE Division will be disqualified before judging. 
Paper submissions should be a maximum of 25-pages, excluding references 
and tables. All papers must be submitted electronically at the AEJMC Web 
site to access the All-Academic Web site available via the AEJMC Web 
site link. Papers must be uploaded to the All-Academic Web server no 
later than Friday, April 1, 2017, 11:59 P.M. (CDT). All submissions must 
follow the guidelines for the uniform call for all paper competitions.

For questions about submissions, contact MMEE Research Chair Sabine 
Baumann, Jade University, (sabine.baumann /at/ jade-hs.de). We hope that you 
will consider sharing this paper call with your colleagues in 
journalism, communication, and business schools.
