Praxeologische Medienbildung: Theoretische und empirische Perspektiven auf sozio-mediale Habitustransformationen
by Patrick BettingerIn diesem Buch werden Aspekte einer praxeologisch ausgerichteten und empirisch fundierten Medienbildungstheorie skizziert, die das Zusammenspiel von Menschen und medialen Artefakten in Bildungsprozessen eingehend beleuchten. Medienbildung wird hierbei als ein Transformationsprozess verstanden, der sich durch das Wechselverhältnis von personalem Habitus und ‚Quasi-Habitus’ medialer Artefakte auszeichnet. Anhand einer fallübergreifenden Perspektive auf Grundlage der dokumentarischen Analyse biografisch-narrativer Interviews sowie medialer Artefakte werden drei Varianten sozio-medialer Habituskonfigurationen identifiziert, die Bildungsprozesse in jeweils spezifischer Weise prägen.
Praxis-Check digitale Markenführung im Mittelstand: Leitfaden für die nachhaltige Transformation von analog zu digital (essentials)
by Arnd Zschiesche Oliver ErrichielloOliver Errichiello und Arnd Zschiesche erklären in diesem essential das „Phänomen Marke“ zunächst grundlegend und zeitunabhängig, gerade um die gängigen, kurzfristigen digitalen Marketingmoden zu entkräften – denn „Überzeugen“ folgt im Netz den identischen Prinzipien wie am Marktstand. In einem zweiten Schritt unterstützen sie Markenverantwortliche dabei, die Faktoren zu operationalisieren, die eine Marke im Netz langfristig erfolgreich machen, und geben Schritt für Schritt einen praxisorientierten Positionierungsbauplan. Auf wissenschaftlicher Basis verdeutlichen die Autoren, dass starke Marken niemals Empfänger, sondern immer Sender sind – insbesondere dann, wenn die Welt um uns herum immer unübersichtlicher wird.
