本文擬從經濟社會學和創業研究等觀點,對新傳播科技興起所引發的媒介創業現象進行考察,嘗試說明媒介創業者從事創業行動的行動邏輯,並揭露引發媒介創業行動的社會根源。通過媒介創業者意涵的討論,本文選取台灣有線電視系統先驅者,作為個案對象,嘗試透過重構這群業者的媒介創業經驗的歷程,解析媒介創業歷程行動邏輯的內涵。透過詮釋性傳記研究法的協助,本文以德國社會學者Fritz Schütze所開展的口述自傳性即興敘述訪談研究法,作為蒐集與分析媒介創業經驗的研究方法;通過詮釋媒介創業個案所提供的創業經驗之敘述文本,重建媒介創業行動邏輯的內涵。最終,經由關鍵個案之敘述文本的解析,本文推論出,情感關係與華人文化中的義氣習性,是理解媒介創業行動的關鍵。
