Deadline: April 1, 2019

The Media Management, Economics, and Entrepreneurship Division (MMEE)  invites original research paper submissions to be considered for  presentation at the 2019 AEJMC conference in Toronto, Canada. August  7-10, 2019. 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 AEJMC Midwinter  Conference and then revised are also welcome for submission.  The division gives awards to recognize the top three submissions from  faculty, and the top three submissions 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, and there are no division membership fees for graduate  students. 

Paper Topics: As a division, we are proud to encourage submissions from  a diverse array of topic areas. Some examples of relevant topic areas  include, but are not limited to: analysis of economic or managerial  questions affecting media firms and media industries; strategic  management aspects and business models of media firms, crowdfunding and  other innovative funding methods for media products and industries;  strategic leadership challenges faced by media companies; media  ownership; management and economic issues from the public-interest  perspective (e.g., effects on reporting or content); historical  discussions of relevant developments in the field; 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; media audience analysis; teaching media management and  economics; and other related topics. 

In 2014 the division changed its name to expand its focus on  entrepreneurship. Accordingly, we also encourage and welcome submissions  within the following topic areas: opportunities and challenges for media  startups; intrapreneurship and innovation within legacy media companies;  the role of higher education in the context of media entrepreneurship;  and other media entrepreneurship related topics. 

Guidelines for all Submissions: All papers must be submitted  electronically at the AEJMC website, by accessing the All-Academic  submission portal. A link to All-Academic is available via the AEJMC  website. Papers must be uploaded to the All-Academic server no later  than 11:59 P.M. (Central Daylight Time) Monday, April 1, 2019. All  submissions must follow the guidelines from the AEJMC uniform call for  all paper competitions. 

Paper Formatting: All papers should use 12-point Times New Roman, Times  or Arial font and have 1-inch margins. Authors should use the style  appropriate for the discipline, including APA, Chicago, MLA, Harvard,  and other styles. Format should be Word, WordPerfect, or a PDF. PDF  format is strongly encouraged. 

Author Identification: Please remove all potentially identifying author  information from submissions. Failure to do so will automatically  disqualify the paper from consideration. Examples of information to be  removed include citations of the author’s previous work, individually or  with co-authors; related reference list information; and file  properties.
