The CEO oversees the overall direction and strategic vision of the record label. They are responsible for financial performance and communicating with the board. In smaller labels, the CEO may also be involved in day-to-day operations like marketing and networking. Vice presidents manage individual departments and work with department heads to plan strategies and meet targets. Key departments within record labels include A&R, which finds and develops new artists; marketing, which promotes artists through strategies like street teams; and sales, which handles distribution and retail partnerships. Each department plays an important role in managing artists' careers and marketing their music.
Dina LaPolt: Building your Artist's Brand as a Business - exclusive white papermidem
It’s an obvious statement, but a brand cannot exist without customers. Artists must ensure that what they present to the world is of the highest quality attainable at that time if they expect to attract any early adopters. Too often, artists prematurely present their vision or message to uninterested business people and audiences due to a lack of analysis as to who their fans might actually be and the best way to approach them. It is unproductive for the “artist brand” to anticipate their target demographic is the entire world. The artist must give their own brand the respect it deserves if they ever expect anyone else to. Fans are the lifeline of the “artist’s brand” because without them the brand dies.
This topic can be addressed by discussing the members of an artist’s “core” executive team, using intellectual property and corporate entities to protect the artist’s brand, various ways of building the artist’s brand, the power of technology and social media, the effects these changes are having on the music industry and some areas ripe for litigation.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. CEO
The CEO of a record label have to have a mix of business and music skills. They
determine the general direction of the marketing, the music distribution and other
matters. They must also have the skills to improve financial performance and
communicating with board members.
The CEO is in control of final approvals of each departments work. An owner of a
small label, whilst fulfilling the strategic role of the CEO, is also involved with day-to-
day jobs such as marketing and networking. Where as the CEO of a bigger company
would be able to delegate most of their roles and responsibilities to the people they
hire and only do the work they have to do themselves.

daily oversight of their department.

occur such as lawsuits between an artist and the company.
6. A&R
A&R (artists and repertoire) is in charge of finding new artists and setting up a
production team to work with them. This department is often what keeps the artist
and the record label communicating together. A&R help choose song selection for
sets and albums, sign producers to produce the artist’s album and negotiate prices.
They negotiate with recording studios and video houses as well. If artists produce
badly selling albums or are not very popular then the blame if often on A&R as well as
the artists.

music as much as possible.
7. ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
This department is crucial in the development of the an artist and are in charge of
planning the careers of the artist who are signed to the record label. Its advertises and
publicizes the artists over the advancement of their career.
Most record labels have stopped providing ‘artist development’ as they now try to
sign artists that are already fully developed into their own genre. This means its
unlikely that work is needed to get the artist into the market. Product development is
what most companies have renamed this department due to labels seeing the artists
as more of a product.
8. MARKETING

Teams, Art and Design and the image of the artist and online promotion. Street
Teams give out flyers, put up posters and sell tickets to younger groups of people.

such as Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter. These social media sites are used to
keep fans up to date on the latest news and releases. Other online work is creating
banner ads through sites like Vevo on YouTube and creating/updating band websites.
In bigger labels the department may also have several smaller sub-departments such
as SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), programming and PPC (pay per click) managers.

advertisements and displays are examples of the types of jobs this department does.

may also be in larger supermarkets.
11. PUBLICITY/PROMOTIONS
A publicist is responsible for getting their artists coverage in the media whether it be
on the radio, TV, online or in print. They attempt to put a positive spin on any bad
press and try to get the most out of all the good news/events coverage that has been
reported. Publicists want to get their artists invited to parties, events, and news worthy
situations which will increase media coverage for that artist.
They would also arrange photoshoots and news articles to be written and publicised
in newspapers and broadcasted across social media. Major artists would usually have
their own publicists who help coordinate publicity events.

the retailers shelves. The department will also work closely with the promotion and
team in order to discuss prices of the product being sold.
