- This monograph is the outcome of several years of research. Extending over 258 pages, it is broken down into 11 chapters, of which several are equivalent in size and scope to a single output. Primary data is principally in the form of exclusive interviews with 67 high-ranking TV executives and creative teams behind the world’s leading TV formats. The first to use the global value chains framework in the sociology of the media, it sheds new light on firm behaviour in a complex industry using sociological concepts. The book of reference in the field, it has been translated in Italian.
