In the context of eMedia and creative industry: information systems, information management, knowledge management, 
decision management, workflow management, electronic media, IT systems, human factors of IT systems, management 
technology, digital services, big data, open data, linked data

According to Gartner published in Techcrunch, communications media and services are the 3rd largest IT systems spenders with 
a yearly growth rate of 4.4% with a share of approx.  $4  billion  in  2011,  after  banking  & securities  and  manufacturing  &  
natural  resources  [1].  For example, the TV industry was faced with tremendous change in technologies during the past decade, 
such as the digital   switchover,   the   introduction   of   HDTV,   or   the provision of 3D content. Large scale asset repositories 
and different workflows in the content production process had to be introduced.  Other  media  industries faced  similar  
challenges,  as  the  emergence  of digital  publishing,  digital  content  distribution,  or advancement  of  in-house  customer  
relationship management infrastructures, and the digitalization of workflows.  

This change towards digital implies a more holistic view of information systems and management in media industries to provide 
optimal system solutions, and eventually cut costs. Where other industries are well researched in terms of their IT system 
solutions, in media industries the discussion around content repositories, media management solutions, and digital workflows 
seems to be predominant. Within the context of this publication, a more holistic view towards information systems and 
management in media industries shall be introduced, and emphasize the importance of research of business information 
management and systems in media industries. 

The media and entertainment industry is the third largest industry segment for investments in information systems. And this 
particular industry segment is faced with tremendous challenges in terms of organizational, transformational, leadership, 
customer behaviour, and technological changes. One particular challenge is the transformation of the analogue media world 
into its digital counterpart. As of today, the successive research of business information management and systems focusing on 
media and entertainment industries is rather fragmented and stretches over a wide area of research islands such as social 
media, eCommerce, or eBusiness. 

To face this challenge, this book focuses on information management and systems for media and entertainment industries and 
highlighting their particular needs in production, distribution, and consumption. The book shall gather a scientific community 
around the theme of business information management and systems in the larger context of media and entertainment 
industries. 

Special Focus on the Notion NEW approaches of Content and Media in Information Systems & Management Applications in 
Particular in Application Areas as: Big Data, Crowd, Open Data, Linked Data, Cloud Application, New Business Analytics, 
Information Visualization, Workflow Management, and Global Digital Production Pipelines.
