    Oliver, JJ (2018). Strategic Transformations in the Media

    Published as: Oliver, J.J. (2018). Strategic Transformations in the Media. Journal of Media Business Studies, Volume 15, Issue 2, 1-22 Introduction Transformation: a marked change in form, nature, or appearance. It is a word that characterises the profound impact that digitalisation and new media technologies have had on the way that many media firms have managed their business. Whilst many media organisations have been exposed to continual levels of turbulence in the past 20 years, two critical events have acted as key drivers of transformational change. The emergence of widespread digitalisation in 1997 and new media technologies, circa 2003, are significant events that have acted as catalysts for technological innovation and market disruption. These high velocity environmental conditions have largely persisted since the late 1990s, and when viewed over the long term, provide an ideal context through which to examine corporate strategy, dynamic capabilities, corporate performance and the strategic transformation of media firms. These disruptive forces have also shaped and contextualised the theoretical debate of many media management researchers, so much so, that we are now seeing the emergence of ‘strategic’ media management as a topic of inquiry. The primary strands of this theme include: an examination of how a highly uncertain media environment has influenced management strategies, business models and profitability (Kung 2007; Koch, 2008; Doyle, 2013; Oliver, 2013; Horst and Jarventie-Thesleff, 2016; Kunz, Siebert and Mütterlein, 2016; Vukanovic, 2016; Daidj, 2018; Evens, Raats & von Rimscha, 2018; Horst, Murschetz, Brennan and Friedrichsen, 2018 ); how legacy media firms are developing dynamic capabilities in response to a fast changing media environment (Oliver, 2014; Naldi, Wikström and von Rimscha, 2014; Horst and Moisander, 2015; Hasenpusch and Baumann, 2017; and Maijanen and Virta, 2017); and how a strategy-as-practice approach has explicated the practical challenges of managing media organisations and their strategic 1 Published as: Oliver, J.J.

Esta é unha pregunta que tanto os profesionais da industria como os académicos se formulan dende a popularización de Internet como xanela de consumo informativo. No epicentro da cuestión está a revisión, reformulación ou fortalecemento do modelo de negocio, como base para o sostemento da organización e para a viabilidade do xornalismo de calidade no espazo dixital. Precisamente, achegar un pouco de luz sobre ese debate é un dos principais obxectivos da presente tese. Pero non o único. A través da análise en profundidade dos modelos de tres xornais (The Times, Financial Times e El Mundo en Orbyt), con estratexias de pago por contidos, tentamos contribuír de modo teórico e práctico á literatura existente. A gratuidade informativa a través do sistema de ingresos publicitario amosouse relativamente deficiente na maior parte de casos, polo que é necesario que a industria inicie a exploración e ensaio de novos modelos de negocio baseados na combinación do pago do lector e no recurso publicitario.

    1 Introduction 2 Political and Social Context of Economic Development

    Notes 1 Introduction 1. I will discuss the links between economic growth and poverty alleviation in later chapters of the book. 2. The writings of Sen, Adelman, Morris and Abramowitz provide illustrative examples of the call for alternative explanations for Africa’s poverty. 3. Distinction is now drawn in the economic literature between nominal and real GDP. Nominal GDP is the sum value of all produced goods and services at current prices. This measure does have its uses. Real GDP is the sum value of all produced goods and services at constant prices and is indicative of how average living standards change over time. 4. See The Economist (2011) “Africa’s Hopeful Economies”. Available at http:// www.economist.com/node/21541008, Accessed on 17–02–2014. 5. This description was contained in a speech that Robert McNamara gave in Nairobi, Kenya in 1993. See Alacevich (2007). 6. This perspective runs counter to the endogenous sociocultural resource argu- ment endorsed in this book. As subsequent discussions will reveal, I do not believe that copying Western values will produce sustainable economic development in SSA. 2 Political and Social Context of Economic Development in Sub-Saharan Africa 1. By the beginning of the 1980s, there were over 30 coups in the subcontinent, with the Togolese coup in 1963 being the first (Panabel, 1984). 2. Accounts showed that groundnut oil mills were set up in Senegal in 1927 and began exports to France. They were soon placed under restrictions because of the protests of oil millers in France. Similarly in Nigeria, the oil mills set up by Lebanese were discouraged.

    2 March 2009 PEARSON 2008 PRELIMINARY RESULTS (unaudited) Sustained growth and record results. • Sales up 8% at constant exchange rates to £4,811m (2007: £4,162) and adjusted operating profit up 11% to £762m (2007: £619m) with margins up to 15.8% (2007: 14.9%); • Adjusted earnings per share up to 57.7p (2007: 46.7p), headline growth of 24%; • Free cash flow up to £631m, or 79.2p per share (2007: £407m/ 51.1p), headline growth of 55%; • Dividend raised 7% to 33.8p. Robust performance in tough markets. • Education profits up 11% to £474m with substantial growth in US Higher Education and International more than offsetting weak market conditions for US School publishing; • FT Group profits up 13% to £195m as growth of digital and subscription businesses and strong demand for premium content exceed decline in advertising revenues; • Penguin profits up 4% to £93m with double digit margins and strong competitive performance in a tough retail market. Marjorie Scardino, chief executive, said: “Over the past five years, Pearson has produced steadily rising sales, profits, earnings, cash and returns. We are particularly pleased to have continued that record in 2008 in the face of a sharp economic downturn. This is the result of steady investment and execution of our strategy over the long-term. We don’t expect economic conditions to improve any time soon, but we do expect our company to remain hardy and aggressive. We’ll continue to press our advantage in technology, services and international reach because our competitive positions are strong
