Roundtable Discussion of Emerging Technology Companies and Transcultural Challenges

Abstract

Abstract The conference and special issue of The Trajectory of Emerging Media and Technology Companies at the Journal of Transcultural Communication explore how transnational media and technology corporations transform global communication. We leveraged various analytical tools to examine the companies’ structure, the country-specific advantages, regulation methods and development dynamics, media system models, and the transcultural implication for business expansion and product/content/service distribution. We also invited three eminent communication scholars to share their perspectives on the global trajectory and paradox of technology companies.
