“…The advantages of such a co-evolutionary perspective include its contribution to better understanding and integrating evolutionary technological change (Ziman 2000) -where technology is not only output but also input into the economy; to overcome the antagonism of technological and social determinism (Rip 2007), and to direct the focus from static assessments to dynamic approaches. Finally, such a co-evolutionary perspective results in other (adaptive) strategies for media management and governance than traditional approaches alone, due to an acknowledgement of the limited predictability and steerability of dynamic co-evolutionary developments (Latzer 2013b(Latzer , 2014.…”

“…Compared to other approaches, the predictability and controllability of developments are much more limited, leading to different conclusions on the role of the state regarding policy guidelines and corporate strategies. For example, more adaptive policies are used -including feedback-loops such as periodic review processes -and trial-and-error methods are increasingly applied (Latzer, 2013b).…”

Convergence is an ambiguous term used by various disciplines to describe and analyse processes of change toward uniformity or union. Its application in the communications sector, often referred to as media convergence, also encompasses valuable approaches and insights to describe, characterize and understand the digital creative economy. A certain amount of fuzziness combined with the broad, multipurpose-character of convergence leads both to a general and a wide range of very specific understandings of the convergent communications sector. This sector substantially overlaps with the digital creative economy, which is also characterized by a degree of vagueness. Common sub-sectors and subjects between communications and digital creative industries such as broadcasting, publishing, advertising, music, film and games are even growing because of convergence. Beyond that, the consequences of media convergence are also discussed for other parts of creative industries, such as museums, libraries and design in particular. New digital media technology and services are considered as central drivers of creative industries. Altogether, this makes studies of media convergence, both its approaches and results, highly relevant for the understanding of the digital creative economy. * Parts of this chapter build on Latzer (2009; 2013b, c). I would like to thank Johannes M. Bauer and Natascha Just for their comments and Katharina Hollnbuchner for research assistance.

“…A proposed co-evolutionary perspective has several advantages for a coherent analysis of these different levels of convergence (Latzer, 2013b). It takes the reciprocal interplay of the different levels of change into account.…”

“…The analysis of media change and convergence as innovation-driven, co-evolutionary processes in a complex ecosystem points to additional and, compared to other theories, different findings. It results (1) in a changing perspective of basic framework conditions for communications policy, predominantly regarding the predictability and controllability of developments, and consequently (2) in changing general guidelines for policy-makers as will be outlined in the following (Latzer, 2013b).…”
