Measuring music artist success
2012
Musiikkiteollisuudella on vuosikymmeniä kestäneet perinteet artistin menestyksen mittaamisessa. Mittaamisella on pyritty sekä monitoroimaan erilaisten musiikkiin liittyvien prosessien tuloksia ja vaikutuksia, sekä suunnittelemaan ja ohjaamaan artistin uraan liittyvää liiketoimintaa. Musiikkiteollisuus elää rajua murroskautta, jossa vanhat ansaintalogiikat ovet saaneet rinnalleen uusia tapoja tehdä liiketoimintaa ja markkinoiden muutos on myös muuttanut artistin menestyksen mittaamisen toimintamalleja. Musiikkia kuunnellaan tänä päivänä enemmän kuin koskaan ja tästä syystä alalle on syntynyt suuri tarve uusille, paremmin nykytilannetta vastaaville mittareille. Tämä Pro Gradu-tutkielma tarkas…

In the Mood: Place and Tools in the Music Industry with a Focus on Entrepreneurship
2016
In this book a phenomenological approach is often used to explore how objects are sensitised: the analyses explore what is happening interobjectively. Humanitarian aid, political portraits, and bequeathed objects are examples of such sensitising in the previous chapters. Chapter 9 adds an analysis of place and dwells on affective atmospheres. The point of departure is a Norwegian black metal musician. While being part of a subgenre of heavy metal music associated with being macho, aggressive, grotesque, and even satanic, this musician has a striking tendency to constantly involve nature – meadows, trees, streams, and a watermill from his homestead – in his music and performances. Building o…
Co-evolution between streaming and live music leads a way to the sustainable growth of music industry : Lessons from the US experiences
2017
While digitization of music, particularly streaming services, has gained increasing popularity, it has also led to a steady decline in the revenues of recorded music industry. This is causing strong concern regarding a potential collapse of the music industry comparable to other print media industries such as newspaper and book publishing. However, recent changes in the music industry initiated by a resurgence of the live music industry are giving rise to some expectations for the survival and growth of the music industry. The parallel paths of increasing popularity of streaming services and a resurgence of live music suggest that these two dynamics are working together in a co-evolutionary…
Views from the boundaries: Music streaming revisited
2021
This article explores how Norwegian record label managers understand their current positions and future possibilities in a market that is increasingly driven by on-demand subscription-based streaming. It adds to a growing body of research by adopting a qualitative approach, seeking to describe issues at a personal or company level, and provide nuance and dynamics in a discourse that is often described in dichotomies and on aggregate levels. The article argues that stakeholders have more varied attitudes than simply being for or against the innovation, the new economic models and their eff ects on their own business, and the market in general. It also demonstrates that perceptions change as …
Introduction: Music, from Intangible Cultural Heritage to the Music Industry
2021
AbstractOur first contact with music is almost certainly in our childhood when our parents sing lullabies to us at bedtime. In a community where music is important, these songs are likely to be successfully transmitted from one generation to the next. This is similar to the concept of intangible cultural heritage and how it is transmitted.
Breaking the Gender Gap in Rap/Hip-Hop Consumption
2021
AbstractSome music genres have traditionally and mainly been consumed by men. This is the case of rap/hip-hop. However, data on the consumption of this genre in recent years shows a relevant increase in the number of women interested in this type of music. It would therefore seem to be pertinent to analyse this new trend, not only as a question linked to gender studies but also to marketing decision-making for the music industry, which is struggling to attract new audiences, a factor compounded in the pandemic. To frame this analysis, literature on music consumption, specifically in relation to gender and rap as an alternative music genre, has been reviewed from different approaches. An exp…
The Impact of the Music Industry in Europe and the Business Models Involved in Its Value Chain
2021
AbstractThis chapter analyses the impact of the music industry in Europe. Although the direct and indirect impact of this industry in the European economy is significant, the sector is made up of different activities and companies, which compete and encounter diverse challenges in it. The current situation of these companies and organisations is presented through an analysis of the business models of several enterprises engaging in a variety of activities throughout the industry’s value chain, such as music production, publishing, distribution and exhibition. Moreover, we analyse digital transformation and the growth in rivalry detected in these activities.
