The Gamification of Citizens' Participation in Policymaking
This book examines the use of game elements to encourage citizens to participate in political decision-making and the planning of large-scale public sector projects. It argues that success is based on a personal concern with the project and a belief in the influence on political decision making, but also on fun. Without fun, only a very small group of the ‘usual suspects’ will participate, especially in classic policymaking approaches like citizens’ panels which require time and physical attendance. The book also examines the relationship between representative democracy and citizen participation from the perspective of direct democratic instruments in Germany. Readers from different countries with different political systems can decide for themselves, if and how the results from Germany are transferable to their respective conditions. Grounded in theoretical literature and statistical data, the book also makes use of narratives, applying a ‘storytelling’ approach to the case studies.
Policy and Marketing Strategies for Digital Media
With digital media becoming ever more prevalent, it is essential to study policy and marketing strategies tailored to this new development. In this volume, contributors examine government policy for a range of media, including digital television, IPTV, mobile TV, and OTT TV. They also address marketing strategies that can harness the unique nature of digital media’s innovation, production design, and accessibility. They draw on case studies in Asia, North America, and Europe to offer best practices for both policy and marketing strategies.
Journalism
This volume sets out the state-of-the-art in the discipline of journalism at a time in which the practice and profession of journalism is in serious flux. While journalism is still anchored to its history, change is infecting the field. The profession, and the scholars who study it, are reconceptualizing what journalism is in a time when journalists no longer monopolize the means for spreading the news. Here, journalism is explored as a social practice, as an institution, and as memory. The roles, epistemologies, and ethics of the field are evolving. With this in mind, the volume revisits classic theories of journalism, such as gatekeeping and agenda-setting, but also opens up new avenues of theorizing by broadening the scope of inquiry into an expanded journalism ecology, which now includes citizen journalism, documentaries, and lifestyle journalism, and by tapping the insights of other disciplines, such as geography, economics, and psychology. The volume is a go-to map of the field for students and scholars—highlighting emerging issues, enduring themes, revitalized theories, and fresh conceptualizations of journalism.

Ethics in the AI, Technology, and Information Age
Increasingly, technology, the Internet and social media are playing a major part in our lives. What should we think about the ethical issues that arise, such as the changing role of intelligent machines in this Information Age? The impact of technology upon society is a perennial question, but the power of computing and artificial intelligence has ratcheted up the ethical implications of this relationship. It merits careful consideration. Ethics in the AI, Technology, and Information Age brings together a cohort of international scholars to explore the ethical ramifications of the latest technologies and their effects on our lives. This it does in three parts: (1) theoretical considerations,...
Soziale Verantwortung nach innen
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ist zu einem Schlagwort unserer heutigen Gesellschaft, der Politik, aber auch zunehmend des betriebswirtschaftlichen Denkens geworden. Dabei ist das CSR-Engagement eines Unternehmens nur dann glaubhaft, wenn soziale Maßnahmen nicht auf die externe Dimension beschränkt bleiben, sondern wenn auch intern – gegenüber den Mitarbeitern – sozial verantwortlich gehandelt wird. Insofern wird unmittelbar die Frage nach dem Wesen und der Ausgestaltung der internen CSR evident. An dieser für die Wissenschaft und die Unternehmenspraxis gleichermaßen relevanten Fragestellung setzt Linda Mory ihre Untersuchung an. Zentrale Zielsetzung dabei ist die grundlegende Konzeptionalisierung und Operationalisierung des Konstrukts der internen CSR und dessen empirischer Überprüfung im Unternehmenskontext mit Hilfe multivariater Datenanalyse.
Digitale Medien im Unternehmen
Die Nutzung von digitalen Medien ist für die verschiedenen Funktionsbereiche eines Unternehmens nicht mehr wegzudenken. Das Marketing erfolgt zunehmend crossmedial, also klassisch nicht-digital und zunehmend digital. Der Vertrieb von Produkten und Dienstleistungen erfolgt immer mehr international und auf digitalem Wege. Existierende Geschäftsmodelle werden digitalisiert, neue digitale Geschäftsmodelle sind auf dem Vormarsch. Trotz oder gerade wegen dieser rasanten Entwicklung werden digitale Medien in Unternehmen wenig systematisiert und häufig aktionistisch eingeführt. Der Professionalisierungsgrad in Unternehmen kommt bei den technischen Entwicklungen nicht hinterher. Umso wichtiger ist es, von praktischen Ansätzen zu profitieren und konzeptionelle Hinweise zu bekommen, die mit weniger Aufwand den Einstieg und die Optimierung von digitalen Nutzungskonzepten und Geschäftsmodellen ermöglichen. Das Buch gibt zahlreiche Ansätze des praktischen Einsatzes und seiner Reflektion.
