Adding Value in Digital Media Networks

In this presentation we address the challenges facing new media service providers in offering value to the consumer. More specifically, we outline a framework for business modeling known as VISOR and adapt some ideas from the field (such as Value Nets) in order to investigate the digital media eco-system. Finally, we derive a set of research axioms for further investigation.
