    Hi Harry and colleagues:

    My students and I find this Ted Talk – ERIC WHITACRE's Virtual Choir – to be inspirational combination of the power of music and social media. Breaks all boundaries!

    A 15 minute clip….

    Thanks!

    Hi Harry,

    I use the following short (6-page) case about a dedicated music website (MusicJuice) that enables musicians to raise money from their fans and the community of interested users in a crowdsourced manner:

    MusicJuice.net:
    https://www.iveycases.com/ProductBrowse.aspx?q=music%20juice&em=0#fs~!ipp~5!q~musicjuice.net!v~0!sd~1!vbc~0!vac~1!vnc~0!em~0!so~1!pn~0!hs~1!mp~0!bis~

    While a seemingly good business idea in principle (the teaching note, also available from Ivey Publishing, cites such an idea as a potential source of Schumpeterian creative destruction in the music industry), in practice it illustrates several practical problems with starting an Internet-based venture - and challenges the students to think of ways to solve them when there is little or no cash flow available to the entrepreneurs.

    I am trying to develop an intro to e'ship course for music students. If any of you have developed or know of such a course and are willing to share, I would love to hear from you. I am especially interested in sample syllabi, resources, and exercises.

    Thank you,
    Harry
