How subsidies promote a uniform film supply
Besides a pure location policy, film subsidies are often justified with a contribution to artistic film quality and the diversity of the film supply. Selection committees deciding on film grants consist, to a large extent, of industry veterans who tend to prefer projects that seem familiar to them. In this study, we have drawn on the concepts of homophily and network theory to systematically study the impact of film subsidies in two empirical stu…
Management and Economics of Communication
This handbook combines the perspectives of communication studies, economics and management, and psychology in order to provide a comprehensive economic view on personal and mass communication. It is divided into six parts that comprise: 1. an overarching introduction that defines the field and provides a brief overview of its history (1 chapter) 2. the most commonly used theoretic frameworks for the analysis of communication economics and managem…
A motivation-based typology of media companies’ cross-border engagement
This article contributes to theoretical discussions in the field of transnational media management research. We argue that investigating media companies’ activities abroad from a strategy-as-practice perspective can overcome shortcomings implied in research predominantly focusing on strategies applied by entire companies. This is especially valid in times of digitization where changing technological frameworks force media companies to internation…
Can digitisation help overcome linguistic and strategic disadvantages in international media markets? Exploring cross-border business opportunities for German-language media companies
The media economy and production literature offers insights into the international activities of media companies that provide products in ‘world languages’. Researchers point out that English-language content and, thus, English-language companies have a linguistic advantage and dominate the global media market. In comparison, there is limited knowledge of how companies that originate from non-dominant-language territories expand their activities …
What is a media company today? Rethinking theoretical and empirical definitions
Between all these challenges, questions on what a media company is today, how it might be defined and the kinds of features characterizing it often remain unanswered. These questions are rarely addressed by authors and scholars working in both business economics, journalism, media, and communication science, maybe because there is the existing assumption of a self-evident and generally accepted definition of the term "media company" (as argued by…
(De)Centralization of the Global Informational Ecosystem
Centralization and decentralization are key concepts in debates that focus on the (anti)democratic character of digital societies. Centralization is understood as the control over communication and data flows, and decentralization as giving it (back) to users. Communication and media research focuses on centralization put forward by dominant digital media platforms, such as Facebook and Google, and governments. Decentralization is investigated re…

The Impact of Working Conditions and Personality Traits on the Job Satisfaction of Media Professionals
This article uses the happy-productive worker thesis as a starting point for assessing the chances that a media system is performing well. Personality traits, work conditions, and job-satisfaction levels of individuals from different media occupations in Switzerland (N = 259) were collected using standardized instruments from personnel psychology. Media workers more distanced from actual media production are more satisfied with their jobs than th…

Orientations of entertainment media workers: Entertainment Media Workers – Disrespect and Neglect
Although entertaining media content is considered to be highly influential on values and norms shared by the recipients, little is known about the orientation and self-perceptions of entertainment media workers conveying these values and norms. This article offers an overview of existing research on TV entertainment workers and concludes that the common stereotype of a primarily commercial orientation cannot be sustained across the board. To unde…
Risikomanagement in der Entwicklung und Produktion von Spielfilmen
Die Arbeit systematisiert die Risiken in der Entwicklung von Spielfilmprojekten als Vorprodukt der Filmproduktion und als Kuppelprodukt aus Kunst und Ware. Es wird eine ausführliche Literaturübersicht geboten, welche Möglichkeiten für Produzenten theoretisch bestehen, diese Risiken bereits vor Drehbeginn zu steuern, also bevor nicht rückholbare Investitionen getätigt werden. In einer qualitativen empirischen Studie wird untersucht, inwieweit Prod…
