  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

    Then There Was The Adventure The Story of Alexander Ware 1789-1836 Edward J. Lanham Then There Was The Adventure The Story of Alexander Ware 1789-1836 Introduction “The story of America is of settlers following the sun westward to new opportunities.” Georgia---Mid April, 2013 As spring drifted into summer along the Flint River, the landscape exploded across the Southland into a wreath of greenery. My field research, which I nick-named “GPS- in-hand and boots-on- the-ground”, is on hold until the leaves turn in the fall. It is now time to compile the past 6 months of research and exploration. For the past 24 years, I have lived in a small town in Fayette County, Georgia which was established in 1823 along the famous Indian trail named the “McIntosh Road.” While researching the history and route of this major trail, I eventually, as a past time, devoted 15 years to mapping that trail and others, then overlaying them on to current day topographical and road maps. I learned that the McIntosh Road was named for the Creek Indian Chief, William McIntosh, who widened a segment of a much longer existing trading route into a wagon road. Chief William McIntosh, a half breed Scot-Creek Indian, was raised by his Creek mother. As a young man, he fought with Andrew Jackson and became a brigadier general. He even dined with President Thomas Jefferson at the White House. McIntosh became a wealthy business man and owned hundreds of acres in Georgia and Alabama. His rank of both chief and brigadier general earned him an association with five presidents: Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, James Madison, James Monroe and John Quincy Adams.
