CEMES. Organizational and institutional
analysis
This course provides a comprehensive overview of media institutions
and organisations, their emergence, structuration and contemporary
transformation. Participants will be introduced into classical and
modern sociological theory of institutions and organisations as
well as theories of management. Applied to the media, the course
will offer a comprehensive overview on the emergence of global
media industries which comprise several organisational types and
institutions that range from public to private, from hierarchical
to networked. The focus will be on comparison in two dimensions:
first differences and similarities of types of media institutions
and organisations (film, news, broadcasting and intenet) and
comparison across different social and cultural contexts (within
Europe and beyond).
