This book provides rare insights into the difficult and complex
dialogues between stakeholders within and outside the music
industries in a time of transition. It builds on a series of
recorded meetings in which key stakeholders discuss and assess
options and considerations for the music industries' transition to
a digital era. These talks were closed to the public and operated
under the Chatham House Rule, which means that they involved a very
different type of discussion from those held in public settings,
panels or conferences. As such, the book offers a much more nuanced
understanding of the industries' difficulties in adjusting to
changing conditions, demonstrating the internal power-struggles and
differences that make digital change so difficult. After presenting
a theoretical framework for assessing digital change in the music
industries, the author then provides his research findings,
including quotes from the Kristiansand Roundtable Conference.
Following from these findings, he develops three critical concepts
that explain the nature as well as the problems of the music
industries' adaptation process. In conclusion, he challenges the
general definition of crisis in the music industries and
contradicts the widely held view that digitalization is a case of
vertical integration.
