2011-12 Research Grants

December 18, 2011.  The MEIEA Grant Award Committee has approved approximately $6,000 in research awards for the 2011-12 academic year.  Among the recipiants were Storm Gloor (University of Colorado, Denver), Monica Herzig (Indiania University), and Kristie Valasco (Metropolitan College of New York).  Since 2006, when the research grants program was started, MEIEA has awarded almost $25,000 in research awards and travel grants for paper presentations.  This year's awards include the following: Charting Success in Music’s Digital Age: How Is Data Now Utilized to Measure Achievement in the Music Industry? Storm Gloor, University of Colorado, Denver The aim of this study is to compare and contrast perceptions of various stakeholders in the industry and those services that publish rankings of artists and music. It would be significant in that it would present findings that could prove helpful in understanding where there are potential disconnects or misinterpretations between these perceptions, or not.  Another aim is to educate students and others in how various services and marketers weigh data points in their rankings and reports. Expected outcomes of the project include the publishing of at least one academic paper and findings for use in music business education. Beyond Jamming – A Historical and Analytical Perspective on the Creative Process Monica Herzig, Indiania University The goal of this project will be a book publication as a collaborative project of pianist/ author/ educator Monika Herzig with NEA Jazz Master/ IU Professor Emeritus David Baker documenting the history, social environment, educational impact, and current trends of the jazz jam session as a learning and teaching tool and a model for creative thinking techniques.  Components include extensive interviews with leaders of different generations, survey research, and the development of a manual for etiquette with the help of master teachers. A conceptual paper providing a legal, statistical and socio-economic/political impact analysis of the restructuring of Grammy award categories by NARAS. Kristie Valasco, Metropolitan College of New York Our research aims to look at the legal arguments presented by the lawsuit commenced to determine the merit of the arguments presented, as well as analyze the numbers of nominees, and members impacted by the restructuring.  It is expected that this research will provide conceptual insight into how business and management issues are addressed in the music industry and the long term or indirect impact that business and management decisions may have on the various impacted constituencies during a time of transformation of the traditional business models within the music industry.
