Entrepreneurship
This entry discusses the main theories of entrepreneurship. It distinguishes between the different schools of thought but also the current thoughts on the subject, such as effectuation theory
Musical tastes in the Web 2.0
Information and communication technologies and the technologies of Web 2.0 have brought a revolution that acts as a prelude of creative destruction for the incumbents in most sectors of the economy. One of the most affected sectors is that of the music industry. After a brief discussion of the cultural industries and the significance of the music industry, the paper turns to theoretical approaches to Social Networks and their analysis, and especi…
Entrepreneurship
The term entrepreneur is generally accepted as having been coined by French economist Richard Cantillon, but it became prominent through Jean‐Baptiste Say's Treatise on Political Economy . The English translator of the treatise, C. R. Prinsep, interpreted entrepreneur as “adventurer,” noting that the meaning of the corresponding English word undertaker was limited
Electronic Commerce
Although electronic commerce was facilitated by electronic data interchange (EDI) standards from the late 1970s onwards, the phrase entered the business lexicon in the 1990s when the world was introduced to the first Internet browser. Antecedents of electronic commerce include the French system Minitel, which allowed transactions over the closed network of France Telecom in the 1980s, and SABRE, the American Airlines computer reservation system a…
Electronic Markets
Standard economic textbooks define markets as mechanisms for buyers and sellers to negotiate, price, and exchange goods or products and services. This mechanism is usually found in a marketplace (e.g., a stock exchange, an auction house, or the village bazaar). Electronic markets, on the other hand, operate in what Rayport and Sviokla (1994) define as marketspaces (i.e., information‐defined rather than physically defined arenas). Electronic marke…
Copyright and Entrepreneurship
The paper critically revisits the theory of entrepreneurship giving particular weight to the economic, business and sociological meaning of the term. It supports the position that the creator should be thought of as an entrepreneur, i.e. somebody who not only creates but who is also, or even primarily, aiming to exploit his/her creation to appropriate rent. The paper tries to build a theoretical framework to facilitate research in the cultural in…
Increasing Returns and Social Contagion in Cultural Industries
A formal definition of cultural industries is developed following four distinct features of cultural goods: (a) oversupply, (b) quality uncertainty, (c) network effects and (d) demand reversal. Drawing on economic and socio‐psychological notions of ‘network’, increasing returns and social contagion effects are distinguished. Increasing returns may govern the adoption of standards when choices are binary, social contagion explains the diffusion of…
The Changing Location of Intellectual Property Rights in Music
This article reports the results of a major study, conducted between 1996 and 1999, examining the impact of de-regulation and digital technologies on the global music industry. We analyse four negotiations in the process of bringing music to the world market: commodification, globalisation, delivery, and royalty management. We show that the location of intellectual property rights in this process depends on the mutual bargaining power of the part…
Contested Collective Administration of Intellectual Property Rights in Music
Individual intellectual property right holders in music cannot easily enforce their statutory claims to exclusive usage and remuneration. Since the middle of the 19th century, composers and publishers have responded by creating collective bodies, so-called collecting societies which monitor musical activity in a given territory, and collect and distribute fees accordingly. These societies, first established in Western Europe, operate on two princ…
