Media & Communication
Management
In 2000 the chair of Media Management was established at the University of Flensburg in coopera-tion with the Press Foundacoopera-tion Schleswig-Holstein, providing the initiating financing. As a part of the International Institute of Management with its bachelors and masters programs we concentrate on research and education in media and communication management as media and communication management as topics.
Our work is characterized by ambitious basic and applied research with an international and output ori-entated focus. Through worldwide cooperations with universities and enterprises we improve the transfer of knowledge between science and business.
Responsibility, commitment and high involvement are core values of our team, which we communicate to our students and partners but likewise demand from them.

Since the media have a high influence on individuals and the society, they are more than common eco-nomic assets. Therefore a multidisciplinary research perspective as well as combined approaches from economic and communication sciences are required.
In recent years the media industry has been going through fundamental transformation. Digitalization is the technological basis for convergence, which strongly influences the competitive conditions in the media markets and radically changes company’s value chains. Against this background, traditional and new media sectors face vital challenges.
