The global music industry today is going through a series of disruptive innovations that are changing business models in the short-term and value chains over the long-term. The pervasive influence of the Internet, mobile and streaming technologies, and the shift from CD-based music to digital and online music also signals how quickly the global value chain of the music industry is changing today. Of these many disruptive innovations, the most significant is the shift from individual record labels and their relatively un-integrated approach to delivering digital music to the pervasive platforms that include Apple iTunes (Hopkins, 2011). With the number of legitimate online sources for music growing from 60 in 2005 to more than 400 in 2010 the role of the platform as consolidator in this global industry is clear (Hopkins, 2011). Of the many types and forms of global music distribution, online music is forecasted to grow at a 31% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), increasing from $5.9B in 2010 TO $7.7B in 2015 (Apple Investor Relations, 2012). Apple's internal research shows that online music subscription services will also experience very rapid growth, with one of the most well-known being Spotify, which is predicted to grow five-fold between 2010 to 2015. The Recording Industry of America (RIAA) estimates that 47% of global music industry can be attributed digital music downloads and subscription services (Apple Investor Relations, 2012). Contributing to these exceptional levels of growth are the impacts of globalization, technologies that are making online digital music sharing highly price effective and reliable, and greater clarity in the area of copyright and licensing. The global impact of piracy and free source software is also having a very significant impact on the global profitability of the music industry (Preston, Rogers, 2011). These constraints will be assessed and analyzed throughout this report.

As an I/O psychologist employed by the company to solve the existing problem and the employment of new employees, I need to address certain issues to ensure perfect job recruitment. The performance of each department should well be analyzed, audited and an action plan taken. In determining the qualifications for the candidates, there are decisive factors I have to consider before employing. Almost every candidate applying for a certain job has his credentials, which will help him during the interview. When a candidate is preparing for an interview, they are always prepared to do or say what is required from them by the employer. In most cases, some candidates pretend to be what they are not. Supervisors and managers in every company are tasked with the responsibility of evaluating its employees.

In the modern classroom, regardless of the age of the learner, we realize that there are multiple learning styles and responses to divergent stimuli. The modern pedagogical environment is faced with a number of challenges that are directly related to learning. In fact, as a educational pendulum swings, we find any number of methods that are thought to be new and innovative; yet it is sometimes the tried and true methods that are more efficacious. For instance, peer to peer learning improves cognitive and higher level questioning, humor bolsters biological reactions to learning, and changing the learning environment improves cognition and attention span

Author Sharon Kemp, in her work "The hidden workforce: volunteer's learning in the Olympics" sets out to understand the motives behind those called to volunteer in what she deems "mega events" such as the Olympics in this case. In comparing volunteers from the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway and the 1994 Summer Games held in Sydney, Australia, Kemp was able to analyze and interpret the reasoning and motivation behind the many hundreds of volunteers' decisions to join in on these monumental events. In beginning with this simple research question, Kemp is able to use a distinct set of methodological means to undertake her research experiment and evidently interpret its results. In viewing Kemp's approach, one can specifically see where her approach exceeds an acceptable research standard as well as where her research methods stand to be improved.

The society of today is undergoing a wide array of changes, some present at the economic level, others at a political level, or others at a demographic level. Regardless of the nature of the change, the fact remains that the population itself is undergoing numerous processes of change and adaptation to the dynamic contemporaneous society. One important feature in this sense is represented by the eating habits of the population, which are now more focused on cost effectiveness and ease of consumption. The fast food industry is as such flourishing, but the negative impacts upon the health of the consumers are beginning to show. In such a setting, a fast food restaurant serving pasta products would represent a still easily accessible, cost effective solution, but one which better safeguards the health of the population.
