*I've updated this review to list alternatives to this awful text. I've dropped it a star because the alternatives are so much better*On short notice I was asked to help out by teaching an undergrad class where MEM was the prescribed text.I can report it offers a shallow, myopic, and film/music industry obsessed approach to making, marketing and `moving'(?) digital content. In sum: it is a banal management textbook that has been filtered through the `copyright industries' of MPAA/RIAA stakeholders. I am not trying to be political here, but merely point out the frame from which this book is written. Further, even its management sections are outdated and at times evoke Don Draper "Jobs often held by women - such as teachers beauticians and nurses - are sometimes called pink-collar". The text offers paltry understanding of the disruptions and opportunities within the `copyright industries' via digital mediums, products, and services.The language of this text is targeted towards junior high school students, ESL students, or in some cases, persons from another planet. This is useful for introducing key terms with a basic explanation, but the results tend to simplify concepts to an extent that they become truisms: "people who work in the creative industries are often divided into the creatives and the suits", "Ringtones: The sounds your mobile phone makes when it rings". Many sections read as a `how to' book or "organisations for dummies' and relay information that can be found on about dot com or yahoo answers.That being said, the business focussed chapters more or less adequately run through antiquated theories and practices of leadership, management, HR, finance, and business models.
