  • B8217-001 Tools and Principles for Managing in the Information
    B8217-001 Tools and Principles for Managing in the Information Economy and Media Sector Prof. Eli Noam Course Syllabus Spring Semester 2019 Wednesdays 2:15pm-5:30pm Uris TBA I. Overview This course covers a subject that is important in the present and crucial for management success in the future: how to manage in the emerging Information Economy? And what are the differences to more traditional approaches in industry and finance? The course does so by focusing on and projecting the lessons from the sector furthest along in its transformation, that of digital media, information, and communications -- where activities are based on bit-based intangibles and knowledge assets, and are globally internetworked. The course takes an innovative approach, bringing together many of the strands of the entire MBA program and applying them to the digital sector. In doing so, it is also an integrative “capstone course” for the business curriculum and thus useful for future entrepreneurs, investors, creators, marketers, and advertisers, even if they do not aim for a career in this sector. The course covers a digital company's major functions (and, by extension, of most companies): 1. The Producing function, including financing, HRM, technology management, and production management. 2. The Harvesting function, including demand analysis, marketing, distribution, pricing, and intellectual asset management. 3. The Control function, including accounting, law and strategy. For each of these functions we assemble: 1 A set of MBA tools and analyses for producers,

  • 25222 SIPA Working Paper Series [Cont PPG #]-WEB
    SIPA’s Entrepreneurship & Policy Initiative Working Paper Series Foreword This working paper series represents original research and case studies undertaken as part of the Entrepreneurship and Policy Initiative at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Afairs (SIPA). Launched in 2016 with funding from the Nasdaq Educational Foundation, the Entrepreneurship and Policy Initiative engages scholars, entrepreneurs, and leaders from the public and private sectors to advance the study of innovation, digital technol- ogy, and public policy. It is also part of SIPA’s broader Tech & Policy Initiative, which explores the intersection of digital technology, data, and public policy, with a particular focus on research, training, and convening in the areas of cybersecurity, internet governance, and the digital economy. From the SIPA Dean’s Challenge Grant for graduate student ventures to new academic research and major con- vening, SIPA is a thriving place for entrepreneurship and the study of digital technology. The Entrepreneurship & Policy Initiative has supported research in three areas: Cities & Innovation; Digital Innovation & Entrepreneurial Solutions; and Emerging Global Digital Policy. This Initiative draws on faculty leadership from SIPA, Columbia Business School, and the University-wide Columbia Entrepreneurship program. SIPA has also hosted high-level events, discussions, and expert workshops on issues such as the future of entrepre- neurship in heartland America (featuring Steve Case, CEO of Revolution); the implication of Amazon’s proposed headquarters in New York City; how cities spur civic technology (co-hosted with Sidewalk Labs), and more. We have convened workshops on civic technology in urban governance and a co-hosted a workshop with McKinsey & Company that examined the evolving policy frameworks around The Internet of Things (IoT) in Brazil and China.

Noam: Media Scholars as Activists: Media Deconcentration as Social Refo MEDIA SCHOLARS AS ACTIVISTS: MEDIA DECONCENTRATION AS SOCIAL REFORM? Eli Noam* I. INTRODUCTION From antiquity through the Middle Ages to the preseht, academia had always been a battleground for the disciplines of rhetoric and philosophy, of the art of persuasion versus the science of knowledge. The two should be mutually reinforcing in the academic endeavor. The scholar's reach is extended by the activist who interacts with the world beyond. The activist, in turn, needs the scholar's findings and objectivity to give credence to her own message. This credibility is a common resource for academia, and like every commons it faces depletion. For activist academics, it would be self-defeating to strive for an imbalance over scholarship. II. THE MEDIA CONCENTRATION DEBATE This tension of academic activism versus detached scholarship has played itself out in many areas.

    The Future of Employment in the Digital Economy September 7th 2018 SIPA 1501 2:00pm-4:30pm CITI-SIPA 2 The Future of Employment in the Digital Economy Background A critical issue facing the US economy is the transformative effect of the internet on the nature of work and employment. There is growth, innovation, productivity rise, and price reductions. But there is also offshoring, disruption, automation, squeeze of retailing, and others. These shifts have been exacerbated by new technologies and have affected the 2016 US Presidential campaign. This conference, “The Future of Employment in the Digital Economy” deals with those topics. It is a joint event of the Columbia Business School and SIPA. Its starting point is the unveiling of a new book, Digitized Labor: The Impact of the Internet on Employment, edited by Lorenzo Pupillo (Centre for European Policy Studies, Brussels), Leonard Waverman (Dean, DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University, Canada), and Eli Noam (Garrett Professor of Public Policy and Business Responsibility, Columbia Business School and Director, Columbia Institute for Tele-Information.) The book and the three panels of the conference will address these topics: • Is the Internet a net creator of jobs? What are the impacts on income distribution? • How are job profiles changed by the digital economy? What models can facilitate adjustment without slowing innovation? WIFI Information WIFI is available in the room. Connect to SSID “Columbia University”. You should then have WIFI access. CITI-SIPA 3 The Future of Employment

    The Columbia Institute for Tele-Information State of Telecom 2019 Do We Need a National i- Media Commission? January 25th 2019 Webinar 10:00am-2:00pm CITI 2 State of Telecom 2019: Do We Need a National i-Media Commission? Background In an era of accelerating technological and business change, the question is whether the existing regulatory institutions fit the changing environment. The pressure points include: 1. New types of media and applications, in particular the Internet, online video, apps, and the Internet of Things 2. The global reach of providers 3. Emerging issues such as: · Data privacy and security · Social media control of usage · Algorithms in the individualization of content, pricing, and advertising · Anonymity and cryptography · Non-discrimination by networks and platforms · Big data and marketing practices · Media trade barriers Dealing with such issues can be done in several ways: 1. A libertarian regime with vanishing regulation. 2. Status quo regulation, with issues dealt with by existing government agencies 3. Creation of new single-issue agencies for new issues, such as a Federal Privacy Commission along the European model. 4. A converged agency to cover the emerging issues of the wider electronic information sector. Each of these approaches has shortcomings such as overlaps, gaps, single-issue perspectives, lack of expertise, and lack of coordination. Others may run counter to basic policy principles of Western democracies. The purpose of the conference is to: 1. Identify new types of issues, 2. What regulatory structure– if any—to deal with them.
