The music industry is an example, in which digital technologies have not only affected the structure of established companies but have also allowed the emergence of new businesses that did not exist before [3,4].

This study explores the value of media innovation strategies for driving business success within the Iranian e-market of music downloads. It argues that the context of music e-markets in emerging countries differs markedly from that of developed economies by highlighting the political and cultural challenges that local e-music platforms in Iran are continuously facing. As literature is scarce in this specific area, and this study is one of the first attempting to gain a comprehensive understanding, a qualitative approach has been applied, and 14 digital music industry experts were interviewed in Iran. Data were collected through semi-structured face-to-face interviews and then analyzed with a qualitative coding approach. This paper revealed that issues such as copyright challenges and governmental permission barriers are limiting the capabilities of digital music distributors to reach a sustainable competitive advantage.

“…In 2018, the book of 'competitiveness in emerging markets: Market dynamic at the age of technological disruptions' covers media entrepreneurship in four different levels: two chapters in broadcasting level (Jensen and Sund, 2018;Murschetz and Prandner, 2018;Karimi and Salavatian, 2018), three chapters in the level of enterprises (Gladysz et al, 2018;Arbatani et al, 2018;Hajmohammadi, 2018;Salamzadeh, 2018;Labafi and Williams, 2018), two papers in the level of individual media entrepreneurs (Tajeddin et al, 2018;Tokbaeva, 2018) and finally three chapters in the macro level and policy and regulations (Reboucas, 2018;Layton, 2018;Safari, 2018). Also in an article that published in the Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Emerging Economies, Tsourvakas and Riskos (2018) identified emergent success factors of entrepreneurial e-media companies; and Cicek (2018) published a paper about social media management.…”

El uso intercambiable de algunos términos que implican conceptos y construcciones diferentes ha sido un desafío para los estudiantes e investigadores principiantes. En particular, términos como "marco", "modelo" y "patrón" y los verbos como "diseñar", "identificar", "presentar" y "proponer" han sido utilizados en varios casos en sus diferentes significados y causan confusión para los investigadores. Este texto es un artículo conceptual que aclara el uso de dichos términos técnicos en investigaciones cualitativas en el área del emprendimiento de medios. De manera simple, define el marco como el límite y los límites de un fenómeno nunca estudiado que incluye factores y elementos; el modelo como una representación de la relación entre los factores y elementos que predice cómo funciona el fenómeno, y el patrón como un modelo previamente examinado con éxito que puede ser evaluado por los futuros investigadores. Luego se han sugerido los verbos apropiados para estos términos técnicos. Los hallazgos son aplicables en los medios de comunicación empresarial y áreas similares de investigaciones cualitativas, incluidas las industrias creativas.

“…Capitalizing on previous research, we can conceive media work as a profession characterized by the following attributes, to name but a few: project-based (DeFillippi 2009), knowledge-based (Carlson 2019), creative (Malmelin and Virta 2016), innovative (Roshandel Arbatani et al 2018;Omidi et al 2020), emotional (Siapera 2019), relational (Baym 2015;Ehrlén and Villi 2020), reputational (Eigler and Azarpour 2020), entrepreneurial Omidi 2020), autonomy-oriented (Von Rimscha 2015), precarious (De Peuter and Young 2019), gendered profession (Gopal 2019), and more in general atypical work (Elefante and Deuze 2012).…”

Media work is a culture-making activity affecting the ways people understand the world and, therefore, workers in the media industries have a critical role in shaping collective memories, traditions, and belief systems. While studies regarding the characteristics impacting the nature of work in the media industries have significantly been increasing over the last years, the literature in this area remains highly fragmented. This paper begins to address that shortcoming by conducting an in-depth review of 36 scholarly papers in influential journals published from 2006 to 2020 to provide a comprehensive view of the literature and its approaches. This study elaborates on the concept of media work by organizing previous efforts into five subthemes, including commonalities, contested terrain, gendered profession, emerging practices, and influencing factors. Previous research has emphasized that media workers’ subjective experiences need to be explored further and more in-depth; however, if we wish to depict a more holistic but realistic picture, those experiences should be contextualized and thus linked with the specific organizational configurations and macro structures in which media work is embedded. The present review depicts how work in the media may take different meanings when addressing it through various theoretical frameworks. Our study can enrich future studies regarding the nature of media work by providing a fine-grained foundation in which researchers could understand how their given research problem(s) would be connected with the other issues that potentially impact their studies.
