Digital Transformations in Media & Entertainment

(1.5 Credits)

Almost all of segments of the media industry, e.g.: newspapers, magazines, television, film, music are experiencing frequent and significant discontinuities. Collectively these discontinuities are disrupting the competitive dynamics, business models and the key factors for success that have defined these industry segments and on which major players have built and maintained leadership positions. In addition to disrupting current approaches to growth and value creation, these discontinuities are creating significant uncertainty about the future shape of each of these segments and the approaches that will be needed to succeed. These changes pose unique problems because while massively disruptive, they are also slow moving in that they take relatively long times to manifest – until there is a tipping point. The goal of this course will be to explore these challenges and their potential solutions.
