About WIMI

Website: www.WhartonInteractive.com
The Wharton Interactive Media Initiative is a data-driven research endeavor focused on interactive media, its effects on global businesses, and implications for traditional business models. Designed to capitalize on Wharton’s longstanding strength in conducting data-driven research, WIMI hopes to influence decision-making across several industries and will help companies understand how to monetize interactive data that they and others have collected. World-class researchers will collaborate with leading-edge businesses to ask and answer the critical questions.

The focus is not on “30,000 foot” perspectives or speculations about far-off future trends; instead the Wharton Interactive Media Initiative will passionately pursue relevant, well-validated, data-driven research that will drive winning business strategies for years to come. Furthermore, as interactive media are already shrinking the globe in a dramatic manner, the Initiative will maintain a global orientation in identifying and addressing these research questions.

The Wharton Interactive Media Initiative:

• Brings a passionate data-driven perspective to media businesses -- i.e., content distribution and information acquisition -- in a way that no other business school in the world can match.
• Distinguishes itself with a tight focus on the interaction between content provider and user, capitalizing on the wealth of individual-level data that is exploding at the crossroads of commerce, technology, and entertainment.
• Is dedicated to bringing world-class research rigor to better understand these complex interactions in order to drive new business strategies and tactics that will reshape the media landscape.
