Negative responses to strategic innovation, a case study of record labels facing streaming
2021
Record labels are organizations in charge of phonographic production at the interface between musicians and the audience.

2012
Both the business world and the artistic one are interesting as far as they give solutions for us. Each in their own way. An artist or a businessman becomes creative if inspired, if living with emotion, if depicting things worth to be taken into consideration. They both start with a dream. The result? Their work, their success. They are both enthusiastic, and responsible for what they do, and the solutions to improve, to change if creative can shape the future differently. W.Shakespeare was probably the most creative of all times and understood the human being as nobody else had done before. A visionary? He was a mind for progress where dreams become reality. Creative performance both in th…
