THE MUSIC BUSINESS AND DIGITAL IMPACTS - DANIEL...

This book provides rare insights into the difficult and complex dialogues between stakeholders
within and outside the music industries in a time of transition. It builds on a series of
recorded meetings in which key stakeholders discuss and assess options and considerations for
the music industries¿ transition to a digital era. These talks were closed to the public and
operated under the Chatham House Rule  which means that they involved a very different type of
discussion from those held in public settings  panels or conferences. As such  the book offers
a much more nuanced understanding of the industries¿ difficulties in adjusting to changing
conditions  demonstrating the internal power-struggles and differences that make digital change
so difficult. After presenting a theoretical framework for assessing digital change in the
music industries  the author then provides his research findings  including quotes from the
Kristiansand Roundtable Conference. Following from these findings  he develops three critical
concepts that explain the nature as well as the problems of the music industries¿ adaptation
process. In conclusion  he challenges the general definition of crisis in the music industries
and contradicts the widely held view that digitalization is a case of vertical integration.
