Maybe if you follow that, I won’t have to come back here. Lana: I’m really trying to be, friends with you.

  • Visionary's Dream Led to Risky Business Opaque Deals, Accounting Sleight of Hand Built an Energy Giant and Ensured Its Demise
    Visionary's Dream Led to Risky Business Opaque Deals, Accounting Sleight of Hand Built an Energy Giant and Ensured Its Demise By Peter Behr and April Witt Washington Post Staff Writers Sunday, July 28, 2002; Page A01 First of five articles For Vince Kaminski, the in-house risk-management genius, the fall of Enron Corp. began one day in June 1999. His boss told him that Enron President Jeffrey K. Skilling had an urgent task for Kaminski's team of financialanalysts. A few minutes later, Skilling surprised Kaminski by marching into his office to explain. Enron's investment in a risky Internet start-up called Rhythms NetConnections had jumped $300 million in value. Because of a securities restriction, Enron could not sell the stock immediately. But the company could and did count the paper gain as profit. Now Skilling had a way to hold on to that windfall if the tech boom collapsed and the stock dropped. Much later, Kaminski would come to see Skilling's command as a turning point, a moment in which the course of modern American business was fundamentally altered. At the time Kaminski found Skilling's idea merely incoherent, the task patently absurd. When Kaminski took the idea to his team -- world-class mathematicians who used arcane statistical models to analyze risk -- the room exploded in laughter. The plan was to create a private partnership in the Cayman Islands that would protect -- or hedge -- the Rhythms investment, locking in the gain. Ordinarily, Wall Street firms would provide such insurance, for a fee. But Rhythms was such a risky stock that no company would have touched the deal for a reasonable price.

  • Risk and Capitalist Power: Conceptual Tools for Studying the Political Economy of Hollywood
    The Political Economy of Communication 3(2), 28–54 © The Author 2015 http://www.polecom.org Risk and Capitalist Power: Conceptual Tools for Studying the Political Economy of Hollywood James McMahon, PhD, York University Keywords: risk; power; Hollywood; capitalism; capitalization Abstract In this article, the structure of Hollywood film distribution will be analyzed through the lens of risk. In both its technical and conceptual senses, risk is relevant to the study of Hollywood’s dominant firms. In the interest of lowering risk, the business interests of Hollywood look to predetermine how new films will function in an already instituted order of cinema, which includes the creativity of filmmakers and the habits of moviegoers. This presentation of risk will explain why, for the political economy of Hollywood, the social world of cinema is an instrumental order. While risk is specifically about the size and pattern of future earnings, it is also an indirect prediction about the stability of the social conditions that would help translate potential earnings into an actual stream. The social world of cinema has a bearing on the Hollywood film business’s degree of confidence, which refers to the ability of capitalists to make predictions about future earnings. Political-economic analyses of Hollywood often focus on the high concentration of ownership or oligopolistic practices in major film distribution (Litman, 1998; Wasko, 2003; Miller et al., 2005; Kunz, 2007; Epstein, 2010). These analyses also, by virtue of the type of business sector being analyzed, deal with questions related to the aesthetic dimension of Hollywood cinema (Langford, 2010). The business and art of Hollywood are entangled because contemporary filmmaking is organized in such a way that six major firms essentially constitute mainstream film distribution.

  • A Quantitative Analysis of the Perceived Quality for Popular Movies by Consumers, Experts and Peers
    A quantitative analysis of the perceived quality for popular movies by consumers, experts and peers Student name: Ruth Bos Student number: 409141 Supervisor: Dr. P. Bhansing Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship Master Thesis June 8, 2016 Master Thesis “Quality time at the movies” Ruth Bos - 409141 ABSTRACT Academic research pertained to the marketing of motion pictures has identified the importance of quality on the commercial success of popular movies with indicators as consumer evaluations, expert ratings and peer-recognized awards as the Academy Awards. However, most researchers fail to analyze the quality of a movie as a measurement of performance of a movie. The current study extents previous research by aiming to measure the perceived quality of consumers, experts and peers for popular movies, based on the assumptions made on the success factors for commercial performance in previous marketing literature. Through a quantitative internet content analysis, data was gathered on the motion picture industry. The models were tested with a sample of 320 movies released between 2000-2015. Results show that the perceived quality of consumers overlap with the perceived quality of experts, which contradicts statements about the ‘little taste’ of consumers. Moreover, the data shows that there is a difference between the perceived quality of consumers and the commercial success of a movie, measured in box office revenue. However, for both commercial success and the perceived quality of consumers, popular appeal is still important for the satisfaction of the consumer. Managerial and theoretical implications, as well as limitations and directions for future research are offered.
