  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

BLACKNESS Rising up WE HEAR: The sound of a boy’s panting while he runs. His footsteps crunching. Faster and faster, louder and louder. SUDDENLY - 1 EXT. SNOWY MINNESOTA WOODS - 1977 - NIGHT 1 The roar of some terrifying creature. We are close to the BOY, age twelve, racing through the snowy dark. He is terrified. He manages to glance back behind him. In a shaky dark swirl we catch glimpses of what appear to be animals, black against the blue snow, chasing after him. In a glimpse of light their eyes flash, revealing TWO WOLVES - tearing through the moonlit woods. The boy tries desperately to pick up speed, dodging fallen limbs and rocks along his way. Strangely, he’s barefoot, in a thin tank-top and pajama bottoms, running through a dark, eerie landscape. Up ahead he sees a way to veer off from the path and dip down along an incline. He takes the turn, tearing through brush as he descends along the side of a hill into a slight recess, hoping to drop out of sight. Through the black mesh of trees he spots the wolves running past.

  • ANALYSIS the Official UK Singles & Albums Charts Are Compiled by the Official Charts Company, Based on a Sample of More Than 15,000 Physical and Digital Outlets
    ANALYSIS The Official UK Singles & Albums Charts are compiled by the Official Charts Company, based on a sample of more than 15,000 physical and digital outlets. They count actual sales and audio streams from last Friday to Thursday, based on sales of downloads, CDs, vinyl and other physical formats and audio streams weighted using SEA2 methodology. Highway to hell: Lewis Capaldi returns to top spot with debut album Q BY ALAN JONES ethroned by Bruce Springsteen last week, and trailing Will Young for much of the latest frame, Lewis DCapaldi edged past the latter to return to No.1. The Scot’s debut, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, bounces 3-1 to secure its fifth week at the summit, although its sales are off 21.00% week-on-week to 19,003 (including 11,085 from sales-equivalent streams) its lowest haul yet. Denied his fifth No.1 album at the death, Will Young’s seventh studio set, Lexicon, opens at No.2 on sales of 16,706 copies. He thus remains tied with Cheryl (two solo, two with Girls Aloud), One Direction and Olly Murs as the reality TV graduates with most No.1 albums. Lexicon is No.1 on both physical sales (11,752) and paid-for downloads (4,274), being No.1 let down only by streaming. Recording Young’s lowest first week sale for a studio album yet, it is the successor to 85% Proof, which previously held that record with 21,320, but which Lewis Capaldi - Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent (Virgin EMI) nevertheless opened at No.1 in 2015, and has sold 96,356 copies.

  • Photosystem Ii Reactions in Thylakoid Membranes
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. I.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
