Media and entertainment industry is the third largest industry segment for investments in information systems. And this particular industry segment is faced with tremendous challenges in terms of organizational, transformational, leadership, customer behavioral, and technological changes. One particular challenge is the transformation of the analogue media world into its digital counterpart. As of today, the successive research of business information management and systems focusing on media and entertainment industries is rather fragmented and stretches over a wide area of research islands such as social media, eCommerce, or eBusiness. To face this challenge, this workshop focuses on the definition of a European research agenda of information management and systems for media and entertainment industries and highlighting their particular needs in production, distribution, and consumption. The workshop shall gather a scientific community around the theme of business information management and systems in the larger context of media and entertainment industries. The outcome of the workshop shall be a roadmap of research challenges, and a structured approach towards information management & systems in media and entertainment industries.
