8th Vienna Music Business Research Days

New technologies had always an impact on the music business – last but not least in the course of the digital revolution. However, new disruptive technologies as the blockchain technology, 3D concert projections and interactive human-computer-interfaces might revolutionize again the value-added processes in the music industry. The 8th Vienna Music Business Research Days at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw) from September 12-14, 2017 will highligh recent technological developments and their impact on the music business.

Live video stream from Joseph Haydn Hall of mdw starts on September 14, 2017 at 9:15.

Book Review: The Death & Life of the Music Industry in the Digital Age by Jim Rogers

Jim Rogers’ PhD-thesis at Dublin City University was recently published under the title “The Death & Life of the Music Industry in the Digital Age” at Bloomsbury/London. He interviewed 30 music business professionals in the UK and Ireland from 2007 to 2010 to answer the main research question if the Internet caused a crisis in the music industry that is signalling its final collapse or if it, in contrast, resulted in an intensive restructuring and reordering within the industry.

He concludes that the music industry has not undergone a fundamental structural upheaval but was reshaped by an evolutionary change. Rogers observes more continuities than discontinuities in the music industry and states that most of the music industry actors do more or less the same things but in a different way. In the following I highlight how the author comes to such a conclusion.
