BOOK
Appetite for Self-Destruction: The Spectacular Crash of the Record Industry in the Digital Age
Steve Knopper
$11.43

About this product:

For the first time, Appetite for Self-Destruction recounts the epic story of the precipitous rise and fall of the modern recording industry, from an author who has been writing about it for more than ten years. With unparalleled access to those intimately involved in the music world’s highs and lows—including Warner Music chairman Edgar Bronfman Jr., renegade Napster creator Shawn Fanning, and more than 200 others—Steve Knopper is the first to offer such a detailed and sweeping contemporary history of the industry’s wild ride through the past three decades. From the birth of the compact disc, the explosion of CD sales, and the emergence of MP3-sharing websites that led to iTunes, to the current collapse of the industry as CD sales plummet, Knopper takes us inside the boardrooms, recording studios, private estates, garage computer labs, company jets, corporate infighting, and secret deals of the big names and behind-the-scenes players who made it all happen. Just as the incredible success of the CD turned the music business into one of the most glamorous, high-profile industries in the world, the advent of file sharing brought it to its knees, and Knopper saw it all.
BOOK
Appetite for Self-Destruction: The Rise and Fall of the Record Industry in the Digital Age
Steve Knopper
$39.99

About this product:
I just finished reading Steve Knopper's book on the downfall of the music industry. Fascinatiing. EMI does not feature much - maybe just lacking the names in the game, like Yetnikoff and Pearlman. Koppelman gets more space the Levy and one will never know if the famous $50M was a real number. The industry is castigated for missing an alignment with Napster that from this book leads one to think would have saved the world. BMG's buy of Napster is regarded with sympathy.
Very little recognition of the fact that people (typically IT) within the music industry were pushing in vain for action on digital media management in the late 1990s. I guess the fact we were unsuccessful proves the point
I do remember those meetings about Madison, SDMI et al - gripping stuff at the time. And how naive we were in those days, thinking the better quality sound of DVD Audio and SACD would actually matter to people. MP3 killed that idea! I can remember the industry meeting I was at in the Sony building where someone first mentioned MP3, and ominously predicted that the horse would be out of the stable very soon. Right he was.
Well worth the read for a music enthusiast and especially any who is or was in the industry

BOOK
Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors
Michael E. Porter
$21.35

About this product:

Now nearing its 60th printing in English and translated into nineteen languages, Michael E. Porter's Competitive Strategy has transformed the theory, practice, and teaching of business strategy throughout the world. Electrifying in its simplicity -- like all great breakthroughs -- Porter's analysis of industries captures the complexity of industry competition in five underlying forces. Porter introduces one of the most powerful competitive tools yet developed: his three generic strategies -- lowest cost, differentiation, and focus -- which bring structure to the task of strategic positioning. He shows how competitive advantage can be defined in terms of relative cost and relative prices, thus linking it directly to profitability, and presents a whole new perspective on how profit is created and divided. In the almost two decades since publication, Porter's framework for predicting competitor behavior has transformed the way in which companies look at their rivals and has given rise to the new discipline of competitor assessment.

More than a million managers in both large and small companies, investment analysts, consultants, students, and scholars throughout the world have internalized Porter's ideas and applied them to assess industries, understand competitors,, and choose competitive positions. The ideas in the book address the underlying fundamentals of competition in a way that is independent of the specifics of the ways companies go about competing.

Competitive Strategy has filled a void in management thinking. It provides an enduring foundation and grounding point on which all subsequent work can be built. By bringing a disciplined structure to the question of how firms achieve superior profitability, Porter's rich frameworks and deep insights comprise a sophisticated view of competition unsurpassed in the last quarter-century.

BOOK
Contracts for the Film & Television Industry
Mark Litwak
$21.94

About this product:
Good basic legal information oriented towards the independent feature film producer but useful for anyone who wants to produce film or other distributed video. Won't replace having an attorney but will allow you to do some things by yourself and understand what is going on when you need to hire one. Similar to "The Independent Film Producer's Survival Guide" but with enough distinct material (example contracts for instance) to be worth having both.

BOOK
Entrepreneurs, Managers, and Leaders: What the Airline Industry Can Teach Us About Leadership
Mark Rennella
$32.50

About this product:

Entrepreneurs, Managers and Leaders examines the role that business leaders play in shaping industries and how the evolving context of industries shapes leaders in turn.  This co-evolutionary process of leadership and industry development is told through the story of the American airline industry across the 20th century.  Entrepreneurs, who explored a variety of different airline concepts in search of a viable business model, dominate the industry’s early history.  As the industry evolved, a new breed of managers emerged who built a dominant business model that enabled their companies to grow dramatically.  Later, after the industry matured, leaders took center-stage as agents of change to rebuild and revitalize the industry.

The lessons to be drawn from the experience of the airlines and their executives will be of interest to business leaders in industries across a wide spectrum. Despite the indelible mark that many individuals have made on their industry, writers on industry evolution-concerning the airlines or any other industry-have rarely factored in leadership as a way of explaining or understanding that evolution. Entrepreneurs, Managers and Leaders seeks to paint a fuller picture of the interdependent relationship between the actions of leaders, the context of their times, and the evolution of an industry.
