Patrik Wikström is Professor in the School of Communication at Queensland University of Technology.
"Wikstöm's ""The Music Industry"" is a highly recognized benchmark of music business research and is a must-read for all interested in the structures and processes of the music industry in the age of digitalization and globalization. Peter Tschmuck, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna The rapidity of change in the music industry is astonishing, and just as astonishing is Patrik Wikstrom's ability to keep up with its development. In this third edition of The Music Industry he brings to readers a comprehensive and nuanced look at the rise of digital media in popular music and charts the new directions that streaming and the cloud are opening up for musicians, fans and industry professionals. No mere cheerleader for the digital, Wikstrom provides the critical historical and economic contexts needed to understand the trajectory the music industry has taken since mp3s burst on the scene in 1999.
