Abstract
There are more people who are listening to music. Nowadays it is everywhere and every when: you are going to take your bus, you are traveling from a country to another, you are making sport... Each reason is the right one to listen to music. It is true that with the development of new technologies, music industry in general has subjected an incredible evolution. But each evolution of course could lead to many problems too. This sector is facing major problems. It is spending much money each year in order to defend itself against downloading of illegal files. Many countries, especially France, are protecting more and more artists and are fighting against "pirates".
In this final assignment we are going to deal with the subject of disruptive technology: in what the development of new technologies particularly since the beginning of the 80's, is typically a problem for this sector?
In the first part, we are going to see the different supports where music was recorded historically and then the new ones. Secondly we are going to analyze the music market globally with its opportunities and threats and thirdly the conclusion of this entire study.
This is the notion the case will articulated around so in order to reach the goals we are going to see in this study, we have at first to define the notion.
First definition of the concept: disruptive technology is a term coined by Harvard Business School professor Clayton M. Christensen to describe a new technology that unexpectedly displaces an established technology.
