This book presents interdisciplinary perspectives on Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, situating the series within contemporary discourses of genre, form, historical place, ideology, and aesthetics. The essays in this collection argue that the series’ unique blend of horror, the Gothic, and melodrama offers a compelling approach to the coming-of-age narrative and makes CAoS a significant part of the teen television canon.

Netflix’s Speculative Fictions: Financializing Platform Television argues that Netflix’s scaled expansion has hinged upon its ability not only to create, but more importantly to communicate, new forms and flows of potential value in platform capitalism, wherein capital is mobilized not only from direct revenue streams but also the new value assigned to inputs and investments of data, debt, attention, behavior, taste, time, sociality, and speculation. To interpret and critique these new communications and projections of value, Colin Jon Mark Crawford performs a discursive analysis of the platform television industry leader Netflix and its ‘investor lore’: the multi-sited narrative of value found in the company’s investor relations materials and corporate communications, such as letters to shareholders, financial earnings reports, executive interviews, press releases, and blog posts. Netflix best represents the increasingly ubiquitous nexus of culture, tech, and finance industries that is platform television. To better understand the emergent financial logics of this relatively new media industry, we must first understand the speculative narratives and discourses of value which organize it. Scholars of media studies, television studies, technology studies, and economics will find this book particularly useful.

Case Study from the year 2020 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,3, New York University - Leonard N. Stern - School of business, language: English, abstract: The paper focuses on strategic issues of the management of Netflix in India, pointing to the following key question: How can the company adapt its business model to gain a foothold in the Indian market? Should the company conduct acquisitions to deal with the situations? Or should Netflix exit India and shift focus to other global markets instead? Netflix, a leading American online media streaming and production company, expanded successfully across the globe in the 2010s. However, in India—a very important market for Netflix due to its large population and strong demand for video streaming—Netflix seems to be struggling. Dominant competitors and specific customer requirements have made growth difficult for the firm. In this case, both Netflix and the Indian video streaming market are analyzed, with several strategic options are compared. The team of authors recommends purchasing local studios and production houses, so that Netflix can continue to pursue its verticalization strategy and meet local consumer demands. We also suggest Netflix adapt its price to appeal to more users, as Indian users are generally more price-sensitive. While it might dilute Netflix’ premium brand, we believe such risk can be mitigated by adopting a more bare-bones, lower-cost subscription targeting the large number of Indian consumers who use their smartphones to access the internet.

Communication is the absolutely indispensable leadership discipline. But, too often, leaders and professional communicators get mired in tactics, and fail to influence public attitudes in the ways that would help them the most. The Power of Communication builds on the U.S. Marine Corps' legendary publication Warfighting, showing how to apply the Corps' proven leadership and strategy doctrine to all forms of public communication — and achieve truly extraordinary results. World-renowned leadership communications expert, consultant, and speaker Helio Fred Garcia reveals how to orient on audiences, recognizing their centers of gravity and most critical concerns. You'll learn how to integrate and succeed with all three levels of communication: strategic, operational, and tactical. Garcia shows how to take the initiative and control the agenda... respond to events with speed and focus... use the power of maneuver... prepare and plan... and put it all together, becoming a "habitually strategic" communicator.

Algorithmic recommender systems, deployed by media companies to suggest content based on users’ viewing histories, have inspired hopes for personalized, curated media but also dire warnings of filter bubbles and media homogeneity. Curiously, both proponents and detractors assume that recommender systems for choosing films and series are novel, effective, and widely used. Scrutinizing the world’s most subscribed streaming service, Netflix, this book challenges that consensus. Investigating real-life users, marketing rhetoric, technical processes, business models, and historical antecedents, Mattias Frey demonstrates that these choice aids are neither as revolutionary nor as alarming as their celebrants and critics maintain—and neither as trusted nor as widely used. Netflix Recommends brings to light the constellations of sources that real viewers use to choose films and series in the digital age and argues that although some lament AI’s hostile takeover of humanistic cultures, the thirst for filters, curators, and critics is stronger than ever.

蘋果橘子創意思考 2016 的台北，平地降下了53 年以來第一場雪。 漫天雪霰從昏黃的路燈落下，郊山山頭一夜覆蓋了白雪，所有人吃驚地說不出話來! 在台北最早的大街中山北路上，有一座雕塑叫「會思考的鳥」，記載著傳說20年代的某個冬天，有人目睹了一對「會思考的鳥」，從東門朝北，凝睇著大屯山的山頂白雲，「會思考的鳥」在寒冬冷冽的晨光中，依然挺立在樹上思考「一日之計」，這個城市究竟會變成什麼模樣？ 2016的台北，是不是還是白先勇筆下的《台北人》，苦悶，想吶喊卻沒有出口？實際上是，台灣再次歷經政黨輪替，也首度選出華人第一位女總統蔡英文；2015的年度關鍵字，民心思變想的就是「換」；而北極寒風，和極鋒噴流來回跳恰恰產生的「北極震盪」，也讓遠在千里之外的台北開始飄雪。 世界起起伏伏，變幻莫測，捉摸不定，一如亞熱帶台北飄下的雪。非典型的狀態，絕不是最後一場雪；冥王星被排除在行星之外，依然會再出現第九顆太陽系行星。也許我們可以像傳說中「會思考的鳥」，愈寒冷更要站在枝頭，凝睇遠方、思考未來。 在這個有點冷有點慌的年代，你還能保持清醒嗎? 本期封面故事《為什麼他們想的跟你不一樣——蘋果橘子創意思考》，我們希望在這個萬象新生的時節，給你一點不一樣的滋味。 世界太複雜，我該怎麼辦?我們在台北與《蘋果橘子經濟學》作者李維特（Steven D. Levitt）意外相遇，他被譽為「全美最有趣的大腦」，也被《時代》雜誌選為「最有影響力100人」。他告訴我們，任何再複雜的難題，如恐佈份子、毒販等，只要一刀切開我們習以為常的事物，很多答案都清晰可見。 李維特書如其人，分析「蘋果與橘子」，蘋果代表創意思考，橘子是問題的本質。牛頓被樹上掉下來的蘋果打中，發現「萬有引力」，如果你萬事只認為倒楣，就不可能意外發現真理。而橘子不能只看皮相，橘瓣被密密麻麻的紋理分割，如果你要找出脈絡，就要懂得抽絲剝繭。 「蘋果與橘子」到了當紅話題人物台北市長柯文哲身上，他是勇敢剝掉橘子皮、直指核心的人。沒有面子包袱，去除人情世故，就像動手術刀，1秒就切中問題。柯P說：「要了解這個世界，不能亂猜，要用理則學思考??。很難猜，就要collect more information!」 選後，很多人對台灣新局有所期待。這次封面故事另一個想的跟你不一樣的人物，我們請到導演楊力州，他從台灣50年的電影中，提出15個時代觀點。他拍攝的《我們的那時此刻》，找出一個平行觀影角度，希望開啟台灣的世代對話。 新總統是誰，不要緊；世界在變，不要緊，如果能看清問題本質，像蘋果橘子一樣解決問題，靜謐的飄雪其實很美。
