The State Of The Field

With the fast rising technology and the closer world community, the music industry has changed dramatically in this modern world. In this case, I will choose an American rock band Paramore as a case study. I will first start with an overview and a brief history of the band, afterwards I will focus on the main four music business areas, which are Artist Management, Record Companies, Music Publishing and Live Performance, examining how they operate in the industry and their relationship between each area and with the band. Finally, I will finish up with a conclusion and my own views.

For example: ‘eternality’, meaning that the music as a certain value which will never die; ‘universality’, meaning that music has the ability to express ‘the human condition’; ‘originality’, when music breaks with convention to establish new stylistic norms which would influence future generations; ‘complexity’, for example counterpoint, executive demands on performance,

The story “In the Field” by Tim O’Brien, is about a platoon of eighteen soldiers in the Vietnam war who are searching a shit field looking for a dead solider by the name of Kiowa.

In addition, Tim O’Brien uses their thoughts to also show how soldiers felt about fighting the Vietnam War.

Within industry there is revolution. Innovation for development and a burning desire for further progression must be realized or risk of failure increases exponentially. Does consistent hard work not correlate with well earned success? Does perseverance parallel evolution? The music industry is not impervious to failure and its institutes must evolve to survive in an ever-changing world of technological advancements. These advancements are utilized and implemented industry wide, including via event promotion to solidify the future of music as a whole. Event marketing, albeit not a “modern term”, has proved vital to the music industry time and time again as it constantly evolves as the music industry business model is redefined. Event marketing and promotion has been defined and consistently redefined as use of technologies upturn.

As a music lover since a young age, the incentives as to why artists created music have always been intriguing to me. The time period and events that took place play a major part in the creative process of music. This essay will consist of information from the early 18th century to the late 20th century. It is known that culture reflects the happenings within a society. Culture is what helps shine light on social situations which lets one know how to react or understand that society’s cultural norms. Music reflects the culture of a society. It gives insight of history, values, norms, emotions, and the mentality of a society. Therefore, broad inquiries may arise such as: What was taking place during these time periods and how did people feel

The world we stay is changing drastically, as a result of all the new exploration that have been made over the years. These new discoveries have been aided by the production of quality music and attracting more people. It is evidence that music is growing massively, and changes with the

Igor Ansoff (1918-2002), is a Russian American scholar who published the book “Corporate Strategy” in the year of 1965. This book had a big role in shaping the business world. He was the first one who defined the term of strategic management. In this book the scholar tried to define in detail the strategic management role in companies. The aim of this was to develop a way where potential of the firm had to meet the firm’s objectives. He tried to introduce planning into the companies so there would not be any waste for the company.

Before sound recording were possible, music was enjoyed live by watching the performers performing on their instruments in front of you. When sound recording became possible, the way we enjoy music was not limited to watching the performers anymore.

It is often assumed that industries will evolve in a steady incremental fashion. This is especially true in mature industries where there are entrenched competitors and established business models. However, consider the examples given above. In each case the industry could reasonably have been described as mature (airlines, insurance and fashion retailing), yet they have all been transformed in potentially unforeseen ways by firms that are relatively new entrants into the industry, such as easyJet and Zara. This provides a challenge to our industry forecasting abilities. If we had conducted traditional industry analyses back in the early 1980s, it is unlikely that we would have correctly forecast these companies and their business models as potential new entrants or competitors. The mindset with which we tend to conduct industry analyses, particularly in mature contexts, often makes the implicit assumption that historical trends will continue into the future; that the industry evolution will be linear. One reason we should be interested in strategy innovation, therefore, is to complement our traditional

In recent years, digital technologies have changed dramatically, consequentially having a significant impact on the music industry, who have been forced to alter their methods of production; to counteract the increased fickleness of music audiences, whose tastes are ever-changing and seek instant gratification. The evolution of the music industry has been acutely influenced by the developments in technology. It could be argued that technology has been a significant challenge for style of cultural production, the economic relationships within these, and of course... the law.

“I examine: types of relationships formed between organizations and musicians; the reasons for and goals of these collaborations; how incorporating musicians might impact on the effectiveness of organizations; and the production of performance to encourage social change”.

Based on this general assumption, the conventional models including porter’s strategic management seem to have had their day.
