The Entertainment Industry
MUS 4165 / 3 q.h.
July 23 - August 18
Boston (Hybrid) Th 5:45 PM - 8:45 PM
The now multi-billion-dollar global business of music has become a pervasive element in our economy and our society. Major business elements of music and entertainment regularly move from the industry press (where the focus is concomitantly on competition and industry change) to the business pages (often about major artist sponsorships, ticket price hikes, changes in distribution, copyright, merchandising, etc.), and occasionally to the front page (e.g. the technological impact on the music industry, etc.). The focus of this course is on the issues and new challenges for managing within this changing and more complex competitive environment. This is an introductory course presenting a structural overview of the music business and entertainment industries. Emphasis is placed on contemporary music business practices. The course includes topics such as the industry structure, business and legal affairs, the recording contract, royalties, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, the role of managers and intermediaries, publicity, advertising, licensing, and piracy.
