Course is available only for the students in Media Education and Media Management programmes.

Only available for the students in the MDP in Media Management.

Students learn the principles and requirements for successfully managing the financial health of a media firm. This is approached as an interdependent process linking financial planning, budgeting and controlling. There will be guest lectures from the industry.

Students are expected to understand the essential terminology in financial budgeting and controlling, how to interpret financial data, and how to use financial information in planning strategic development.

Available only for the studients in Media Management programme.

Students learn about how people are using media goods and services today, and how that is both the same and different in the historic
context. Lectures also highlight changing perceptions of media, emphasising what that implies for meeting expectations and accommodating variation in preferences. Coursework encourages developing more nuanced understandings in a comparative framework that offers contrasts between legacy media and new media, audiences and users in key segments (e.g. younger versus older, men versus women), and in different countries (i.e. international comparison).

The course deepens the students’ understanding of the functioning of world society and the role of epistemic governance in it. In addition to showing how world culture is seen in the global spread of world models, the course approaches the circulation of global ideas from the perspective of national actors, especially policymakers. In the national political fields, actors justify new policies by international comparisons and by the successes and failures of models adopted in other countries. Consequently, national policies are synchronized with each other. Yet, because of the way such domestication of global trends takes place, citizens retain and reproduce the understanding that they follow a sovereign national trajectory.
The lectures introduce the key ideas of the Stanford School of New Institutionalism coupled with Foucault-inspired governmentality approach and the advances made in discursive institutionalist research. Through required reading the students will get a holistic view on neoinstitutionalist global sociology.

In order to complete the course, students are required to participate both the lectures and the seminar.
