 International Journal of Entertainment Technology and Management (IJEntTM)
ISSN (Online): 1741-8046 - ISSN (Print): 1475-8954 Published in 4 issues per year (View Subscription Price) IJEntTM covers and disseminates the rapidly growing research and application domain of entertainment technology and management. In the context of the knowledge society, entertainment is a key pillar towards a new era of human experience and transcendence supported by new media.
Don Marinelli (2003) articulates it succinctly: “The veritable explosion of social transformations brought about by computer-generated and computer- mediated digital entertainment was upon us before many in higher education realized the world had changed… Entertainment Computing recognizes interactivity as being the dominant transformation brought about by digital media".
Within this context, IJEntTM addresses an emerging discipline which stands in the converging domains of high tech and new media. In IJEntTM, entertainment management stands for the “holistic approach to interactivity as being the dominant transformation enhanced by digital media".
 Objectives
The statement above provides the key differentiation of the journal and its unique value proposition. IJEntTM aims to become the leading scholarly edition covering multiple areas and disciplines by developing and diffusing knowledge in horizontal and vertical pillars.
It investigates entertainment technology and management issues in different contexts; it promotes in horizontal lines the different views of entertainment management by structuring a scientific debate featuring the participation of new kinds of interactive media industries and researchers.
