Previous Work

Included is a link to a power point file that contains work by myself and others that have researched on the topic of this blog. (I am trying to figure out how I can post a word document or power point file on the blog).

Digital Distribution and the Music Industry 2001 by myself, Daysi Cadena, Newton Fong , Vishal Tyagi. (As you can see, I have since figured out how to upload different file formats using Google Groups). You can open the document or save it. If saved, you can review the notes for each slide. This is included here to offer some relevant background information on the Music Industry.

Highlights from Presentation include the:

• The Structure of the Music Industry (Artists, Producers, etc..)

• The Key Players in the Music Industry in 2001 (Napster, 5 Major Record Companies)



• Technology and Market forces present in the Music (Disruptive Innovation of digital music format, Nature of Technology Disruption, Strategic Inflection point, and The Technology Adoption Life Cycle and the Chasm)

• And, The Music Industry Today (to be look at in detail in a subsequent post)
  
  
  
  

I have also included a list of relevant reading material for anyone interested from the text Strategic Management of Technology and Innovation, 4th ed. Ed. by Robert Burgelman, Clayton Christensen and Steven Wheelwright published via McGraw-Hill Irwin in 2004. The work in the text was very insightful and played an incremental role in my selection of this topic. The two readings below were incremental:

• Cha, Benjamin, and Kausik Rajgopal. Digital Distribution & the Music Industry in 2001: Case II-10. 378-398.


• Burgelman, Robert A. Meza, Philip. Finding the Balance: Intellectual Property in the Digital Age.
