Call for Chapter Proposals
Business Innovation and Disruption in Film, Video and Photography
Vol. 2 in the Business Innovation and Disruption Book Series
Book Series and Volume Two
Co-Editors: Robert DeFillippi and Patrik Wikström
MEDIA XXI Publishers, 2013
This volume will examine how the industries for film, video and
photography (FVP) are undergoing a process of disruption and
transformation due to the technology of the Internet, social forces driven
by social media, the decreasing costs of new information, and the creation
of new business models and forms of intellectual property ownership rights
for a digitized industry. This volume is soliciting chapter proposals from
a multidisciplinary array of scholars who can contribute to one or more of
the following themes:
• Disruption of the industry structure and value chain relations
• Transformations in user behavior, particularly related to user
innovation, including crowd sourced innovation
• Business model innovation and transformation
• Innovative funding models for FVP production including crowd
funding, international funding schemes, government grants, etc.
• Intellectual property innovations in the FVP industries
• Innovative modes of content creation, aggregation and distribution
• Case studies of innovative modes of business response to
disruption challenges
• Assessments of prospective economic winners and losers in the FVP
eco systems
This volume is seeking manuscripts that can address the above topics
through a variety of modes of analysis: institutional analyses,
quantitative empirical study, case studies, and theory-based simulations
or modeling. Our intention is to offer a plurality of theoretic
perspectives and empirical methods from diverse social science, business
and creative industry disciplines that can inform a more holistic
understanding of the forces shaping the image focused creative industries
(film, video and photography) and shed some light on the impact of those
forces on how image content is created, aggregated and distributed, and on
the economic and social consequences for industry producers and consumers.
