December 2012
Reference: IMD-3-2344

Paul Numi is at a crossroad. He is a successful executive in a major multinational but he is also an aspiring artist trying to “make it” in a seriously crowded music industry. Though he turned 50, he cannot shake off that rock and roll itch. How will Paul Numi compete? The case can be used in conjunction with the IMD Industry Note IMD-3-2343 “Turmoil and Revolution in the Music Industry.”

Learning Objective
