Wikstroem and DeFillippi have done an excellent job of compiling
thoughts from a number of sources on the modernization of music.
Ranging from the issues of fair payments to creators and the
dominance of on-demand music in Scandinavia to government influence
on music markets in China, the work offers a broad spectrum of
views into the evolving music business. Anyone seeking to learn or
teach global music business model innovation should place this book
at the top of his/her list.' - C. Allen Bargfrede, Berklee College
of Music, US'Business Innovation and Disruption in the Music
Industry offers an enjoyable overview of the opportunities and
challenges as well as of the driving forces of the current
transformation of the music industry. Its contributions illustrate
the contexts of this transformation as well as the change of
business models. It is a rich source of empirical evidence and in
particular of controversial but smart interpretations of current
and future developments. I highly recommend Business Innovation and
Disruption in the Music Industry to all practitioners, researchers
and students interested in the music industry as a creative complex
cultural and media business and to those who aim at participating
in its further development.' - Carsten Winter, Hanover University
of Music, Drama and Media, Germany 'This is a timely book, given
the disruptive elements that still dominate the twenty-first
century music business. Edited by esteemed music industry scholar
Patrik Wikstroem and creative industries Innovation expert Robert
DeFillippi the 11 chapters from 15 international scholars across
different disciplines are organised along three themes: 'music
industry transformation in context', 'changing business models' and
'streaming music services and the future of music'. The
international perspective of the book is arguably one of its
greatest strengths, however, it is the future facing parts of this
book that makes it most worth reading.' - Dennis Collopy,
University of Hertfordshire, UK Patrik Wikstroem and Robert
DeFillippi bring together innovative, multidisclipinary
perspectives on business innovation and disruption in the music
industry. Authors from fields such as cultural studies, economics,
management, media studies, musicology and human geography in North
America, Europe and Asia focus on the 'second wave' of digital
disruption and the transformation of the music industry. The
chapters are structured into three parts: the first part
contextualizes changes in the music industry that have been driven
by digital technologies since the end of the 1990s. The second part
unpacks the impact of these disruptive technologies on business
models in specific industry sectors and geographies, and the third
and final part examines questions related to the emergence of
subscription music services. Concluding chapters link back to the
role of hackers as a subversive and innovative force in the music
economy and examine how hacker creativity can be facilitated and
encouraged to generate the next big music industry innovation. This
multifaceted look at the music business will serve as a resource
for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as
established scholars and industry professionals. Contributors: R.
