Design is increasingly recognized as an important source of
competitive advantage and an important element in innovation and
new product development. In this third volume of the International
Perspectives on Business Innovation and Disruption book series,
editors Robert DeFillippi, Alison Rieple and Patrik Wikstrom focus
on the role of design innovation in transforming industry practice.
With an international cast of scholars and practitioners, this book
examines how design innovation impacts the creation of new business
models, innovative forms of service delivery, multinational
innovation practices, the role of aesthetics and psycho spatial
dynamics in fostering innovation and the types of design
capabilities found in the most innovative businesses worldwide.
Split into five unique sections, many chapters focus upon design
thinking and conceptualize design as a user-centered, empathic and
participative practice that allows diverse stakeholders to
creatively contribute to business innovation. This instructive and
insightful volume will be an essential resource for practitioners
and managers across all organization types, both in the public and
private sector, who wish to transform the ways they do business, as
well as for design, management and social science students and
scholars. Contributors include: M. Aftab, L. Andrawes, H. Berthold,

Innovative learning projects in management education and
development are discussed in the frame of cutting-edge theory and
salient practice. Learning projects are defined as educationally
directed activities involving out-of-classroom action settings
complemented by student and/or instructor directed reflection on
the links between theory and practice. Chapters are grounded in
relevant theory, empirical research and examples of best practice
for a wide variety of real world management education projects.
Contexts include both university and corporate-based management
education and development. Topics span action learning,
experiential learning, student consulting projects, service
learning, reflective practice, internships as learning vehicles,
and web-based learning through projects. Extensive opportunities
are being recognized for more tightly and productively integrating
the normal work of managers with their education.
Sir Roy Strong calls Little Sparta the only really original garden
made in this country since 1945. Ian Hamilton Finlay's unique
creation in the Pentland Hills south of Edinburgh is a garden
composed as an artwork in itself. It incorporates concrete poetry,
moral polemic, philosophical reflection and a sparkling sense of
humour. While Finlay's works and installations throughout Europe
and North America are well documented and justly famous, this is
the first book devoted solely to the garden at Little Sparta, which
has been at the heart of his life's work. It offers readers a sense
of the diversity and originality of the garden along with a text
that unfolds the layers of meaning it contains.
This fifth volume in our book series on Research in Management
Education and Development (Information Age Publishing) is devoted
toward an empirical and conceptual examination of some
long-standing criticisms of graduate management education. This
volume also showcases a wide variety of innovative experiments in
new visions of Master's level graduate management education. We
draw upon a rich array of USA and non-USA scholars and empirical
sources in this volume and we are most grateful to our volume's
distinguished academic contributors for sustaining our book series
aspiration to both reflect upon and shape innovative thinking and
practice on important issues of management education and
development. The over-arching theme in each chapter is the need for
each innovation to be integrated within the larger body of
curriculum, program structures and pedagogic practices of the
innovative Business School and its overall management education
curriculum. Piecemeal and stand-alone versions of each innovation
are seen more as pilots for early stage demonstration of the value
of the innovation. Each chapter argues for a more holistic approach
to embedding each innovation within the fabric of the entire
business school and graduate management education enterprise. This
call for holistic, integrative approaches to graduate management
education is amply demonstrated in many chapters of this volume and
we sincerely hope that you will find some inspiration in the
forthcoming pages for furthering your own educational vision.

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.

uniquely focuses on how innovation in these industries transforms
practice. Uncovering the strategic role of innovation for
organizations in the creative and cultural sector, the book
provides readers with practical guidance to help traverse seismic
disruptions brought about by global health and economic crises. The

competitive forces. Enhanced by conceptual tools and replete with
industry examples, this textbook is an ideal resource for students
and reflective practitioners to understand how innovation can be a
productive tool for transforming their own creative and cultural
industry practice and performance during a period of rapid
technological change and unprecedented societal challenge.
