Digitalisation and Intermediaries in the Music Industry
CREATe Working Paper 2017/07 (June 2017) Digitalisation and intermediaries in the Music Industry Authors Morten Hviid Sabine Jacques Sofia Izquierdo Sanchez Centre for Competition Policy, Centre for Competition Policy, Department of Accountancy, Finance, University of East Anglia University of East Anglia and Economics, University of Huddersfield [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] CREATe Working Paper Series DOI:10.5281/zenodo.809949 This release was supported by the RCUK funded Centre for Copyright and New Business Models in the Creative Economy (CREATe), AHRC Grant Number AH/K000179/1. Abstract Prior to digitalisation, the vertical structure of the market for recorded music could be described as a large number of artists [composers, lyricists and musicians] supplying creative expressions to a small number of larger record labels and publishers who funded, produced, and marketed the resulting recorded music to subsequently sell these works to consumers through a fragmented retail sector. We argue that digitalisation has led to a new structure in which the retail segment has also become concentrated. Such a structure, with successive oligopolistic segments, can lead to higher consumer prices through double marginalisation. We further question whether a combination of disintermediation of the record labels function combined with “self- publishing” by artists, will lead to the demise of powerful firms in the record label segment, thus shifting market power from the record label and publisher segment to the retail segment, rather than increasing the number of segments with market power. i Table of Contents 1.

Understanding the Evolving Roles of Outbound Education Tourism in China: Past, Present, and Future
Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2020 – Pages 100-116 Understanding the Evolving Roles of Outbound Education Tourism in China: Past, Present, and Future By Sandy C. Chen* This paper discusses the evolving roles of outbound education tourism in China. To provide a thorough understanding, it first surveyed the origins and philosophy of travel as an educational device as well as education travelers’ motivations in Chinese history from the first pioneers in the Confucian era to the late 20th century. Then, it described key events and factors that have stimulated the development of the outbound education tourism in modern China and its explosive growth in the 21st century. Through in-depth personal interviews, the study developed a set of measures that reflected present Chinese students’ expectations of traveling abroad to study. A follow-up large-scale survey among Chinese students studying in the United States revealed two dimensions underlining these expectations: Intellectual Growth and Lifestyle. The findings of the study have significant implications for key stakeholders of higher education such as administrators, marketers, faculty, staff, and governmental policy-making agencies. Keywords: Education tourism, Outbound tourism, Chinese students, Travel motivation, Expectations. Introduction Traveling abroad to study, which falls under the definition of education tourism by Ritchie et al. (2003), has become a new sensation in China’s outbound tourism market. Indeed, since the start of the 21st century, top colleges and universities around the world have found themselves welcoming more and more Chinese students, who are quickly becoming the largest group of international students across campuses. Most of these students are self-financing and pay full tuition and fees, thus every year contributing billions of dollars to destination countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and Singapore.

For many needing their morning fix of caffeine but in addition a social network forms around this drink. As the globalization of coffee spreads, consumers and corporations are becoming more and more disconnected from the coffee producers. This research project will look at examples of ‘sustainable’ coffee and the effects the production of coffee beans has on local communities. The research will look at specific case studies of regions where coffee is produced and the positive and negative impacts of coffee growth. In addition, the research will look at both sides of the fair trade industry and organic coffee on a more global level and at how effective these labels actually are. In doing so, the specific effects of economic change of coffee production on children in Brazil will be examined in “Coffee production effects on child labor and schooling in rural Brazil”. The effects explored on such communities in Costa Rica, Southeast Asia and Africa will be economic, social and environmental.

State Compensatory Education: Overview
State Compensatory Education Programs and Services Guide STATE COMPENSATORY EDUCATION: OVERVIEW Compensatory education is defined in law as programs and/or services deigned to supplement the regular education program for students identified as at risk of dropping out of school. The purpose is to increase the academic achievement and reduce the dropout rate of these students. The goal of State Compensatory Education (SCE) is to reduce any disparity in performance on assessment instruments administered under Subchapter B, Chapter 39, or disparity in the rates of high school completion between students at risk of dropping out of school and all other district students (Section 29.081, Texas Education Code and 77 (R) SB702 Enrolled- Bill Text). State Compensatory Education funds were authorized by legislature to provide financial support for programs and/or services designed by school districts to increase the achievement of students at risk of dropping out of school. State law, Section 29.081Texas Education Code (see 77(R) SB702 Enrolled- Bill Text), requires districts to use student performance data from the state’s legislatively mandated assessment and any other achievement tests administered under Subchapter B, Chapter 39, of the Texas Education Code, including end-of-course tests and norm-referenced tests approved by the State Board of Education to provide accelerated intensive instruction to students who have not performed satisfactorily or who are at risk of dropping out of school. Compensatory Education: State Criteria for Identification of Students At Risk of Dropping out of School A student at risk of dropping out of school includes each student who is under 21 years of age and who: 1.

Defining Engineering Education
Paper ID #9586 Deﬁning Engineering Education Dr. Alan Cheville, Bucknell University Alan Cheville studied optoelectronics and ultrafast optics at Rice University, followed by fourteen years as a faculty member at Oklahoma State University working on terahertz frequencies and engineering edu- cation. While at Oklahoma State he developed courses in photonics and engineering design. After serving for two and a half years as a program director in engineering education at the National Science Founda- tion, he took a chair position in electrical engineering at Bucknell University. He is currently interested in engineering design education, engineering education policy, and the philosophy of engineering education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 A Century of Defining Engineering Education Abstract The broad issue question addressed in this paper is how the complex interface between engineering education and the larger contexts in which it is embedded change over time. These contexts—social, intellectual, economic, and more—define both the educational approaches taken and how various approaches are valued. These contexts are themselves inter-related, forming a complex system of which engineering education is a part. The interface between engineering education and the larger system is not unidirectional; while environmental changes can affect engineering education so too does engineering education affect the larger environment. This paper adopts a philosophical perspective in exploring some interrelationships between engineering education and the larger social-technical-economic system. To explore the extent to which a meaningful conceptual ontology exists for dialog of the role on engineering education in society, definitions of how engineering for the purpose of engineering education are examined.

LEARNING and TEACHING STYLES in ENGINEERING EDUCATION [Engr
LEARNING AND TEACHING STYLES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION [Engr. Education, 78(7), 674–681 (1988)] Author’s Preface — June 2002 by Richard M. Felder When Linda Silverman and I wrote this paper in 1987, our goal was to offer some insights about teaching and learning based on Dr. Silverman’s expertise in educational psychology and my experience in engineering education that would be helpful to some of my fellow engineering professors. When the paper was published early in 1988, the response was astonishing. Almost immediately, reprint requests flooded in from all over the world. The paper started to be cited in the engineering education literature, then in the general science education literature; it was the first article cited in the premier issue of ERIC’s National Teaching and Learning Forum; and it was the most frequently cited paper in articles published in the Journal of Engineering Education over a 10-year period. A self-scoring web-based instrument called the Index of Learning Styles that assesses preferences on four scales of the learning style model developed in the paper currently gets about 100,000 hits a year and has been translated into half a dozen languages that I know about and probably more that I don’t, even though it has not yet been validated. The 1988 paper is still cited more than any other paper I have written, including more recent papers on learning styles. A problem is that in recent years I have found reasons to make two significant changes in the model: dropping the inductive/deductive dimension, and changing the visual/auditory category to visual/verbal.
