Business model types associated with network structure changes in the music industry

The music industry is developing and starting to catch up after its downturn in previous years. The number of actors is growing and coming up with different new business models to creatively enter the new market and beat competitors. Unique offerings require new partnerships which change the network structure in the business model. Many companies revise their business models as they deal with various actors with specific terms in constant change. Previous research often captures a single actor's business model and tends not to focus on providing the changing network structures in regards to the different types of business models emerging in the industry. The research reported here was carried out to identify the relationship between the available types of business models and the changing relationship structures in the music industry. The results show that changes in network structures correspond to different business model types in the case of Indonesian music industry. Further research is suggested to gain a better understanding of the implementation and evaluation of the business model types due to the changing network structures.
