  • New Entry of Record Labels in the Music Industry
    Start Me Up: New Entry of Record Labels in the Music Industry Master Thesis MSc Business Administration Management and Entrepreneurship in the Creative Industries Faculty of Economics and Business, Amsterdam Business School Myra Alice Wilhelmina Ruers - 11903929 Supervisor: Dr. M. Piazzai 21st of June 2018 Statement of Originality This document is written by Student Myra Ruers, who declares to take full responsibility for the contents of this document. I declare that the text and the work presented in this document is original and that no sources other than those mentioned in the text and its references have been used in creating it. The Faculty of Economics and Business is responsible solely for the supervision of completion of the work, not for the contents. 2 Abstract The music industry is extremely vibrant, diverse, and inherently uncertain. Record labels are the main intermediaries in this industry, facilitating the connection between the creative input from musicians and the demand from the consumers. Due to many technological advancements, the barriers to entry have decreased significantly, hence making it easier to enter this industry as a new record label. Additionally, strategic integration options allow existing firms to start new ventures by acquiring or initiating subsidiaries. This research focuses on the multiple modes through which new entry can be commenced. These entry modes all have their own characteristics and consequences for the configurations of the industry. The likelihood of entry, the subsequent performance of new record labels, and the effects on the diversity of the output are the main topics that are explored. In this study, databases storing longitudinal information on musical releases are used to compile a dataset with the necessary information on new record labels.

Abraham, Executive Director Theta Tau Professional Engineering Fraternity 1011 San Jacinto, Suite 205 Austin, TX 78701 Dear Brothers, I am honored to represent the Boston University Colony of Theta Tau in presenting our petition for chapter status. Over the past year, our colony has developed as an organization that truly respects and embodies the three pillars of Theta Tau: Service, Profession, and Brotherhood. Our colony has had the privilege of interacting with the national brotherhood on several occasions. This past summer, brothers from our colony represented Boston University at Theta Tau’s Leadership Academy. Their most important takeaway from this experience was the powerful sense of brotherhood that Theta Tau fosters and practices on a national level. As a colony, we seek to emulate that connection both between brothers, and with alumni in our immediate area. At our first annual Boston Local Alumni Networking Panel, we were lucky enough to host supportive alumni living in Boston. These brothers have since remained in contact with us as a support network to aid our colony in growing and succeeding as part of Theta Tau. As a member of our colony’s founding class I have seen firsthand the success our colony has achieved this past year.

  • Neo-Conservatism and Corruption at Adelphi University, 1985-1997
    The Twilight of Reason: Neo-Conservatism and Corruption at Adelphi University, 1985-1997 Daniel Rosenberg' During the administration of President Peter Diamandopoulos (1985- 1997), Adelphi University elicited considerable national attention. When faculty opposition to Diamandopoulos prompted the New York State Board of Regents to investigate reports of trustee and presidential malfeasance, the peculiar cir- cumstances at the Long Island institution became unprecedented matters of public scrutiny, drawing reporters from national, as well as local, media, and from publications dealing with higher education. Evidence before the Regents indicated exorbitant self-aggrandizement, extensive violations of non-profit and board procedures, and of ethical norms in education, leading the state body to remove the trustees in early 1997.* While the Regents' hearings and concurrent reporting publicly revealed the mercurial personality of Diamandopoulos, the coverage tended to obscure political factors, which facilitated and rationalized the operations of the presi- dent and his associates among the trustees. The following article will present an analysis of these dimensions in particular, giving relevant attention to, while leaving aside a fuller exposition of, the removal process. The president was a political animal, and not only in the customary sense of campus maneuvering, but one with clearly right-wing proclivities, notwith- standing his stated pursuit of an expansive "liberal learning." Despite the evi- dence of malfeasance, he attracted support from important organizations, national leaders, editorial boards, and foundations opposed to multiculturalism, campus unions, and the values of the 1960s perceived to be embodied within. However possessed (as the Regents hearings showed) of an overripe self- esteem, he was never abstractly opportunistic, but steered consistently right- ward.

The project had a duration of 4 months (between March and June 2009) and has as goal to improve Palco Principal, a social software platform focused in the music industry. After a study of Palco's platform, as well as of the several other platforms existing, it was possible to understand the needs and opportunities of Palco Principal, in order to level and even excel its competitors. From this study, three main areas of focus were elected: music recommendation, music classification and event management. A brief analysis on the context of this systems is made, from the definition and applications of social software to the context of the music industry and the Music Information Research field of study. Several aspects of music recommendation and classification are studied, as well as their applications and associated issues. Also a study of the existing recommendation techniques is developed, along with the metrics used to evaluate their success. We then try to understand how music classification is made and we explore some novel forms of classification, apart from the traditional genre categorization: acoustic fingerprinting and mood classification.
