  • Using Thematic Thinking to Achieve Business Success, Growth, and Innovation
    Praise for Using Thematic Thinking to Achieve Business Success, Growth, and Innovation “This is THE case book for unconventional, yet proven business ideas on anything from brand extension, new product development, to intelligent homes. The authors provide a straight-forward approach to solving well-known problems using a new perspective. Thematic Thinking will be an eye-opener to many strategist and innovation leaders.” — Prof. Dr. Mueller-Kirschbaum , Henkel, Corporate Senior Vice President, Research & Development “If, like me, you think visually, this book will have you thinking about networks and nodes and also nesting Venn diagrams. Reading the book will have you precluding taxonomic and promoting thematic categories for problem solving. It will teach you how-to and when-to, and also when-not-to. It is very pragmatic, and—for businesses in many categories—may prove very profitable.” — Patricia D. Stokes, Ph.D. , Adjunct professor of psychology, Barnard College, Columbia University, New York, USA, and author of Creativity from Constraints: The Psychology of Breakthrough , and Creativity from Constraints in the Performing Arts “This book will change the way you view the business world. Most managers are trained to categorize, from their own ‘core competence’ to the industry in which they operate. In this book, the authors demonstrate with numerous real-world cases the surprising power of viewing business as a world of interconnected products, services, and industries. By recognizing the relations among businesses, rather than simply focusing on their categorization, managers can capitalize on a whole new world of opportunities. This book is a must-read for anyone who’s looking for a competitive advantage for their business.” — Zachary Estes, Ph.D.

    Crowdstream Displaying Video across the Phones of Large Crowds at Concerts Lars-Kristian Dahl Master of Science in Informatics Submission date: June 2018 Supervisor: Mads Nygård, IDI Co-supervisor: Ole-Ivar Holthe, Zedge Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Computer Science Abstract Light-emitting wristbands and other wearable devices have become a popular gimmick at concerts and large events in recent years. Usually, these devices can be remotely controlled through radio signals, allowing them to light up in response to stage events, at specific intervals, or in beat with music. However, few of these are spatially aware, which means that the emitted colors are often uniform or randomly distributed across the venue. Therefore, these devices are great for simple effects, but they can not be utilized for more advanced effects that require positional awareness and coordination. The few systems that are spatially aware either require elaborate set ups and provide very coarse positioning, or they require that the end-user inputs their exact location in terms of section, row and seat number. This significantly limits the use and applicability of these systems. Zedge, a company specializing in mobile applications, wanted to investigate whether it was possible to utilize mobile phones to add positional awareness to such systems. This could in effect substitute the specialized bands and devices with existing mobile devices, and would allow for far more sophisticated light shows to be coordinated in large venues and crowds. They also wanted the solution to be cheap and easy to use, without requiring elaborate setup and specialized hardware. This report proposes a new, novel approach for indoor positioning that is potentially better suited than existing approaches at providing relative positions in indoor venues.

  • Textual Spectacle: the Transmedial Storyworld of Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto
    The Concept Album as Visual-Sonic- Textual Spectacle: The Transmedial Storyworld of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto Lori Burns University of Ottawa [email protected] Abstract This paper studies the elaboration of the concept album by means of multimodal promotional strategies that include the concert tour, music videos, books, as well as other digital and print materials. Adopting the perspective that the meaning of a concept album emerges in and through a potentially complex network of materials, we can receive and understand concept album storytelling to operate according to multimedial, intermedial and transmedial contexts. This study examines the transmedial storyworld of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto concept spectacle as it is developed in and through the material content of the original album, the Coldplay: Live 2012 (Coldplay 2012c) concert film, as well as the paraphonographic materials that extend Mylo Xyloto into a variety of media. KEYWORDS: Concept album, spectacle, multimodality, intermediality, transmediality Introduction In the context of the new millennial industry of popular music, artists from a variety of genres rely heavily upon current technologies and social media platforms to develop elaborate promotional strategies, thus expanding the idea of the concept album to the concert tour, music videos, books, and a range of supplementary materials. With such an approach, the concept album can be seen to extend across multiple media formats in supplementary materials and live IASPM@Journal vol.6 no.2 (2016) Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music ISSN 2079-3871 | DOI 10.5429/2079-3871(2016)v6i2.6en | www.iaspmjournal.net 92 Lori Burns performances.
