This study summarises OI knowledge by reviewing 54 articles and focusing on OI core process archetypes, practices and sources as well as motives and media-specific conditions. Within three processes (outside-in, inside-out, and coupled), six key practices are identified and discussed: (1) cooperation, (2) mergers and acquisitions, (3) crowdsourcing, (4) co-creation, (5) collaboration and (6) spin-outs. Media companies’ OI use is mainly motivated by market-related outcomes and sourced through technology, audience or other media companies. The most relevant media-specific condition is cultural uniqueness. Aligning OI practices to strategic innovation management and developing OI management competencies could be key to successful OI implementation.","PeriodicalId":45673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Media Business Studies","volume":"17 1","pages":"190 - 218"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/16522354.2020.1724498","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47020561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper assists organisations in overcoming uncertainty by helping them construct issues and not impose the opportunity or threat labels on ill-defined issues. Based on a qualitative case study of two newspapers that represent an industry in disruption, this paper extends the existing conceptual framework on strategic issues by providing an additional strategic issue label, amorphous issues, that captures the uncertainties organisation members face during periods of disruption. Moreover, this paper also illustrates how the construction of issues can change over time. This emphasises the dynamic nature of strategic issues construction, which more closely aligns with the disruptive environment in which many contemporary organisations operate.","PeriodicalId":45673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Media Business Studies","volume":"17 1","pages":"13 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/16522354.2019.1651046","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43486705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a qualitative study, the paper shows how a media company leverages the power of communities and networks in its strategic brand management to engage its consumers in brand co-creation by authoring, contesting, and circulating narratives about the brand and their relationship with the brand in the course of their identity work as individuals and members of the online community of the brand.

Nevertheless, there is limited research on whether news media companies work strategically to build trust among users, as well as how trust in media is perceived in high-trust societies such as the Nordic. In this study, our aim is to understand how Norwegian media executives perceive trust in the media they manage, and the role of user interaction. Through a survey of Norwegian editors (N = 147), we conduct a quantitative study of media executives’ perceptions of readers’ trust as well as whether they have executed strategically initiatives in the news media to increase readers’ trust. We find that media executives experience a high degree of perceived trust, and interaction with users as a positive predictor for perceived trust. On the other hand, focus on metrics and usage numbers was a negative predictor for perceived trust.","PeriodicalId":45673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Media Business Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"295 - 306"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/16522354.2019.1640534","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43950111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, it examines the interrelationships of these constructs and their effects on the brand. Data retrieved from 303 respondents in an online experiment, analysed with partial least squares path modelling, show that, contrary to prior research, consumers actually evaluate banners more positively than article-style native ads, in terms of attitude and credibility. Banners also show a larger understanding of message intent. Ad attitude, ad credibility, and understanding of message intent significantly mediate the relations between ad type (banners versus article-style native ads) and brand effects. These results provide important insights for brand managers, ad agencies, and publishers that can increase the effectiveness of online advertising planning.","PeriodicalId":45673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Media Business Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"275 - 294"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/16522354.2019.1640517","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43414212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a qualitative analysis of 22 interviews, with media professionals and consultants of a German-based print magazine company, we identify a jointly enacted practice that we call “shared inquiry”. This practice includes recursive and adaptive strategizing actions towards (1) searching and learning (actions of employees), (2) facilitating and questioning (actions of managers), and (3) guiding and reflecting (actions of consultants). We demonstrate how these actions form a mechanism through which media managers create the conditions to cope with continuous change and how they manage in order to achieve strategy emergence both locally and on an organization-wide level. Ultimately, we show how strategic actions can be mapped in a continuum that supports “responsive coping”.","PeriodicalId":45673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Media Business Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"202 - 229"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/16522354.2019.1641672","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45056253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
