“…The concept of market failures has been applied to technology and knowledge markets, and has become mainstream in innovation policy (Hauknes and Nordgren 1999). In addition to externalities, innovation-related market failures stem, for example, from the public goods and appropriability character of knowledge and content, from imperfect and asymmetric information and from market dominance (Poel and Kool 2009). Public financing of R&D and other innovation policy measures may reduce such market failures either through the direct outcomes of the public funding or indirectly by stimulating private R&D investments, which otherwise would not have been made -the input additionality (e.g.…”

In order to understand and explain current developments in the media landscape, using the lens of innovation and innovation theory adds value to media research. This chapter gives a theoretical introduction to the concept of innovation. It argues that media innovations may be related to product innovation, process innovation, position innovation, paradigmatic innovation and social innovation, and that innovation may involve different degrees of novelty. The chapter also highlights key influences on innovation in the media: (1) technology, (2) market opportunities and user behaviour, (3) behaviour of competitors, (4) regulation, (5) industry norms, (6) company strategy, (7) leadership and vision, (8) organisational structure, (9) capacity and resources, and (10) culture and creativity. 1. Latin innovare: to change. 2. Lindmark et al. (Chapter 8) also propose temporal aspects as an additional dimension. This dimension involves the maturity of the innovation and how close the innovation is to the market. 3. This section of the discussion is in part inspired by factors influencing the type of product portfolios established by media companies, identified by Picard (2005).

“…The characteristics of ICT issues are taken into account. For instance, ICT issues can cut across sectors, and information society policy seldom has a ''unique and exclusive mandate'' to address an ICT issue (Poel and Kool, 2009). The relevance of policy coordination -and the difficulties -are addressed in the public management literature (e.g.…”

“…This is reflected in the concept of the policy mix. The policy mix perspective is applied in innovation systems literature (Malerba, 2004;Smits and Kuhlmann, 2004;Lundvall and Borrá s, 2005) and in the context of ICT and innovation (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2008;European Commission, 2009;Poel and Kool, 2009). The first step is to identify fellow policy makers that work on ICT issues.…”

Purpose -ICT is everywhere, but information society policy cannot address all the sectors and policy issues in which ICT plays a role. This paper's aim is to develop an analytical framework to assist policy makers in deciding on the priorities and coordination of information society policy. Design/methodology/approach -The analytical framework is based on public management literature and innovation literature. The framework can be applied to individual ICT issues -when to lead, advise, explore or refrain from policy intervention. The framework consists of seven questions, including the rationale for intervention, stakeholders, the mandate of fellow policy makers (e.g. other ministries) and the costs, benefits and risks of intervention. The framework was applied in three cases.Findings -A leading role for information society policy is most clear for e-skills. For services innovation, several market failures and system failures appear to be relevant. This calls for a mix of policy instruments, with roles for several ministries. Policy coordination is crucial. For ICT in health sectorsand other public sectors -the conclusion is that information society policy can take the lead on cross-cutting ICT issues such as privacy, standardisation and interoperability.Originality/value -The article addresses one of the main challenges of information society policy: how to increase its scope, yet maintain effectiveness and coherence.

Information and communication technology (ICT) policies attract different stakeholders in the policy cycle phases. Whilst most studies on stakeholder analysis focuses on identifying stakeholders at the beginning of the policy process (ex-ante), we argue that stakeholders may change during the course of the policy process and hence the need to review previous policy stakeholders and identify new stakeholders in the subsequent phases of the policy process. The article proposes a taxonomy of ex-post stakeholder identification for ICT policy implementation phase. The taxonomy comprises the following steps for identifying stakeholders: categorise policy goals, list stakeholders, decide on stakeholders, categorise stakeholders, assign roles to stakeholders, highlight participation of stakeholders, manage stakeholders, and evaluate stakeholders. The taxonomy may be used by those responsible for recruiting stakeholders in the ICT policy implementation.
