Year 12 music
The music industry is dominated by four major record labels - Sony Music Entertainment, EMI, Universal, and Warner. These "big four" control over 70% of the global music market and operate as an oligopoly. As large conglomerates, the major labels have numerous subsidiary companies that deal with niche genres and can cross-promote artists across different media. Independent labels specialize in particular genres and may cater to smaller audiences, but offer artists more creative freedom and control over their work.
Sony
Sony is the second largest company in the 'big four' record labels and is controlled by Sony Corporation of America, a subsidiary of Sony Corporation of Japan. In 2010, Sony's revenue was $5.672 billion. Sony owns several subsidiary labels and has signed popular artists such as Alicia Keys, Beyonce Knowles, and Chris Brown.

Record labels
The document discusses different types of record labels. Major record labels include Sony BMG, Universal, EMI, and Warner Music Group. They have many subsidiaries that artists can sign with. Minor record labels exist alongside major labels and follow a vertical integration model. Examples include Def Jam Records and Columbia. Independent labels like Blue Horizon and Cherry Red also exist. Major labels have advantages like more money and power for artists, allowing them a larger budget and more influence. Minor labels allow artists more independence and creativity, a simpler process, and easier recognition within a genre.
Structure and breakdown of Record Labels
The document discusses the structure and types of record labels. It outlines the key activities of record labels which include talent development, artist marketing, legal services, sales/distribution, and promotions.

They have significant financing but independent labels have more creative freedom.
Production and distribution
The document discusses different options for artists to produce and distribute their work: major labels, independent labels, or self-producing. Major labels like Sony, Universal, and EMI have greater resources for publicity but artists have less control. Independent labels have fewer resources but focus more on the artistic vision and allow artists more ownership. Self-producing gives artists full control but limits their audience reach. The document also provides details on the history and operations of some major labels like Sony Music and Universal Music Group.
Record Label Research
There are three major record labels that control about 75% of the music market: Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group. Artists are signed either to these main labels or their subsidiary labels like Columbia Records, which is owned by Sony. Independent labels like Top Dawg Entertainment also exist but face greater challenges in promotion due to smaller budgets compared to major labels.
The major differences between a major and an independent record company
Major record labels are large corporate-owned entities that control production, distribution, and promotion of artists. In contrast, independent labels are not owned by parent companies and allow artists to retain control and rights over their music. Major labels typically take a larger share (10-15%) of artists' royalties compared to independents (40-75%). Additionally, independent labels foster closer relationships with fans through social media. A case study on Domino Recording Company highlights its success as a long-running independent label.
Music Industry
The music industry is dominated by major record labels that control around 75% of the global music market. These major labels include Universal, Sony, and Warner Music Group.

This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Record labels
- 1. MAJOR VS INDEPENDENT RECORD LABELS
- 2. MAJOR RECORD LABELS The major record labels are: - Universal Music Group - Sony Music - Warner Music Group - EMI Group These labels dominate and control the industry, and in a Niesen SoundScan report in 2011 found that these labels controlled around 88% of the market – with Universal and Sony being responsible for 29% each.
- 3. INDEPENDENT LABELS The definition of an independent record label (or "indie label") is “a record label that operates without the funding of or outside major record labels.” Some independent labels are: - Mad Decent - Sub Pop Records - Rough Trade Records - Domino Recording Company
- 4. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? Major record labels have more money, which has both positive and negative aspects to it. These companies are able to provide high quality music and videos, top advertising and major distribution – but they’re money making industries, and will only offer the artist 10- 15% in royalties. Where as an independent company will offer between 40-75% but do not have the budget for the high value videos or editing, due to their budget. Another major difference is the type of contract the artists sign, once signing with a major label, all music produced is theirs – able to use it in adverts or shows to their benefit. However, under an independent the music will remain the artist’s, even once the contract has ended.
