Innovation Processes in Business Networks
by Francesca RicciardiIn today's networked economy, each organization is more and more shaped by the system of its long-term business interactions. Innovation processes cannot be successfully designed and managed unless the complex influences of business networking on innovation processes and innovation-related performances are clearly understood. But extant theories on business networks are fragmented, and each of them, taken singularly, provides only partial or poor understanding of the impacts of business networking on innovation performances. Based on qualitative research on three exemplary worst practices and on expert panel discussion and validation, Francesca Ricciardi develops novel quantitative models in this theory-building work to explain innovation performances in different interorganizational networks.
Innovationen im Journalismus: Theorien – Methoden – Potenziale?
by Sonja Kretzschmar Annika Sehl Daniel NöllekeDer Wandel von Journalismus und Medien ist eine Konstante im digitalen Zeitalter. Dieser Wandel betrifft die Mikro- und Meso- ebenso wie die Makroebene. Neue Akteure sind hinzugekommen, tradierte Geschäftsmodelle von Medienunternehmen ins Wanken geraten und die Plattformisierung wirft neue Fragen nach Gemeinwohl auf. Wie können Medienorganisationen die Herausforderungen meistern und einen qualitativ hochwertigen Journalismus sicherstellen? Was kann die Journalismusforschung leisten? Dieser Sammelband verfolgt das Ziel, das breite Spektrum von Innovationen in Journalismus und Medien wissenschaftlich einzuordnen und zu strukturieren. Dabei werden sowohl theoretische Annäherungen, als auch praxisnahe Umsetzungsformen diskutiert. Der Sammelband geht auf eine Tagung der DGPuK-Fachgruppe Journalistik/Journalismusforschug zum selbigen Thema zurück.
Innovationen und Innovationspotenziale im öffentlich-rechtlichen Medienjournalismus (BestMasters)
by Steffen GrütjenDer Medienjournalismus als fachjournalistische Disziplin ist landläufig mit einem Nischenstempel behaftet. Seit seinen Anfängen als klassische Medienseite in (überregionalen) Tageszeitungen hat er sich stark ausdifferenziert und tritt mit neuen Angebotsformen inzwischen verstärkt im Social Web auf. Die Forschungsarbeit systematisiert und reflektiert erstmals Innovationsstrukturen im öffentlich-rechtlichen Medienjournalismus. In Leitfadeninterviews gewähren Medienjournalist*innen von ARD und Deutschlandradio Einblicke in ihre (innovative) Programmgestaltung und formateigenen Zielgruppenvorstellungen. Als Forschungsgegenstand werden neun genuine Medienmagazine betrachtet, darunter „ZAPP“ (Norddeutscher Rundfunk), „@mediasres“ (Deutschlandfunk) oder „Töne, Texte, Bilder“ (Westdeutscher Rundfunk). Mit Blick auf den öffentlich-rechtlichen Auftrag messen die Befragten dem Medienjournalismus in öffentlich-rechtlicher Verantwortung eine große Bedeutung bei – sowohl im Lichte einer kritischenBegleitung von journalismus- bzw. medienspezifischen Themen und Spannungsfeldern als auch bei der Wandelbarkeit von tradierten Programmmustern.

Innovations and Social Media Analytics in a Digital Society
by Maria José Sousa and Célio Gonçalo MarquesRecent advances in digitization are transforming healthcare, education, tourism, information technology, and some other sectors. Social media analytics are tools that can be used to measure innovation and the relation of the companies with the citizens. This book comprises state-ofthe-art social media analytics, and advanced innovation policies in the digitization of society. The number of applications that can be used to create and analyze social media analytics generates large amounts of data called big data, including measures of the use of the technologies to develop or to use new services to improve the quality of life of the citizens. Digitization has applications in fields from remote monitoring to smart sensors and other devices. Integration generates data that need to be analyzed and visualized in an easy and clear way, that will be some of the proposals of the researchers present in this book. This volume offers valuable insights to researchers on how to design innovative digital analytics systems and how to improve information delivery remotely.
Innovations in Communication Theories: The Man Is the Message
by Yanru ChenThis book offers a novel approach to innovations in theories of communication and social development. It proposes that "the man is the message". It argues that communication is woven into the fabric of people’s daily lives, and a scholar with a keen eye, an open heart and an inquiring mind should be able to capture the ubiquitous phenomena of communication and turn them into theoretical observations and even innovations.Although most of the propositions in this book cannot be tested empirically, at least for now, owing to the limitations inherent in current research methods, they complement the empirical studies of communication based on measurement.With due understanding that Western social sciences, including communication studies, focus on analytical thinking and the fine division of disciplines, this book takes a more synthetic approach to analyzing communication, often integrating and contextualizing its various factors and channels and categories in analysis and writing. Providing a holistic picture of communication that features the crux of the matter—how to reach and capture the heart and soul of people without any attempt to manipulate their minds, it is more humanistic than many other books on communication studies. Although much of the thinking in the book is seemingly Chinese, it nevertheless has a universal appeal.

Innovations in Digital Comics: A Popular Revolution (Elements in Publishing and Book Culture)
by Francesca BenattiThe success of popular webcomics (comics produced and read entirely digitally) is the greatest revolution in the comics medium of the last two decades. Webcomics exploit a socio-technical convergence between digital platforms and participatory cultures, enabling global authors to work together with global audiences to transcend established print comics structures. After defining digital comics, webcomics and webtoons, this Element presents a case study of Korean platform WEBTOON, which achieved 100 billion global page views in 2019. The study analyses data from their website, including views, subscriptions and likes, to quantify and assess whether WEBTOON's commercial and critical success is connected to its inclusion of a wider range of genres and of a more diverse author base than mainstream English-language print comics. In so doing, it performs the first Book Historical study of webcomics and webtoons. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
