Hannibal employed an innovative weapon in his attack: elephants. He had become a big fan of elephants as instruments of war.They were huge, frightening beasts, and enemy soldiers were usually intimidated by their mere presence. His father, Hamilcar, had experimented with elephants, largely without success, and Hannibal himself had led an army equipped with elephants across the Italian Alps to attack the far- ther reaches of the early Roman empire.The fact that he lost half of his army and most of the elephants on the way did nothing to dampen his enthusiasm for this military innovation. Hannibal, his soldiers, and his elephants confronted the famous Roman general Scipio, who commanded a force of about an equal number of soldiers. Hannibal was utterly convinced that the elephants would provide him with the decisive advantage. The battle began with a full frontal assault, with Hannibal’s soldiers following more than a hundred elephants charging into the center of Scipio’s infantry line.

  • Chapter: Music Recommender Systems
    Chapter 13 Music Recommender Systems Markus Schedl, Peter Knees, Brian McFee, Dmitry Bogdanov, and Marius Kaminskas 13.1 Introduction Boosted by the emergence of online music shops and music streaming services, digital music distribution has led to an ubiquitous availability of music. Music listeners, suddenly faced with an unprecedented scale of readily available content, can easily become overwhelmed. Music recommender systems, the topic of this chapter, provide guidance to users navigating large collections. Music items that can be recommended include artists, albums, songs, genres, and radio stations. In this chapter, we illustrate the unique characteristics of the music recommen- dation problem, as compared to other content domains, such as books or movies. To understand the differences, let us first consider the amount of time required for ausertoconsumeasinglemediaitem.Thereisobviouslyalargediscrepancyin consumption time between books (days or weeks), movies (one to a few hours), and asong(typicallyafewminutes).Consequently,thetimeittakesforausertoform opinions for music can be much shorter than in other domains, which contributes to the ephemeral, even disposable, nature of music.

  • Another Loudness War: How Record Labels Release Singles to Compete for Consumer Attention in the Digital Age∗
    Another Loudness War: How Record Labels Release Singles to Compete for Consumer Attention in the Digital Age∗ Christian Essling1, Johannes Koenen1, and Christian Peukert2 1ifo Institute for Economic Research at the University of Munich 2University of Zurich February 23, 2015 Abstract In markets with thousands of products, firms cannot take it for granted that con- sumers are even aware of their articles' existence. Advertising and actions to attract consumer attention are therefore integral components of a firm’s competitive toolbox. We study firms’ behavior in a perfect example for such a market: The music indus- try, in which consumers can choose from a plethora of albums and songs. We study a specific strategic instrument of firms, single releases, applying unique micro-level data. Arguing that the digitization of the industry via MP3, filesharing, and iTunes amounts to forced unbundling, the role of singles has changed from individual rev- enue generators (pre-digital era) to pure attention gatherers. In accordance with this driving hypothesis, we observe an inverse U-shaped relationship between competition intensity and the number of singles released in the digital era, while previously com- petition had a purely negative effect. Keywords: Consumer Attention, Digitization, Music Industry, Single Releases, Ad- vertising and Competition JEL No.: L82, M37, D83 ∗We are grateful to J¨orgClaussen, Tobias Kretschmer, Martin Peitz, Thijs Peters, Hannes Ullrich and audiences at Marketing Science 2012, Copenhagen Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneur- ship 2014, and various seminars at the LMU Munich and the ifo Institute for valuable comments and discussions.

  • Summer 2007 I Want to Suggest Is That We Begin to Evaluate and No Matter How Much We Want to Put in on the Police Based on Their Effort
    rollin’ rollin’ rollin’... from the editor This is my very last issue of DEconstruction. So, in an obligatory sentimental letter from the editor, I would like to thank some people who have helped make this experience amazing. Along the way, multiple professors have guided my writing and designing skills, teaching me to explore beyond the classroom. The English Department funded and supported this magazine prior to it becoming an RSO; for that start and their continued investment in our succes, thank you. Without these people, it would have been like writing in the dark. Of course, our many contributors who offer talent, hours, and creative work to the project. Clearly, their work forms the heart of our publication as well as the inspiration to continue working on it. Most importantly, thank you to my staff for dedicating themselves to an unpaid and unregulated endeavor. Their hard work, witty writing, last-minute pitching in, consistent creativity, and loyalty have helped this magazine grow better with each issue. I have been lucky to lead a team who sees the value in an open forum for communication. I leave this magazine in good hands, hands that will use creativity and smarts to better the publica- tion. My best wishes and encouragement go out to the students who will run and contribute to future issues of DEconstruction. Enjoy!
