...University of Cambridge Unit of Assessment: UoA23 Title of case study: The transformation of the book publishing industry in Britain and the US 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) Research undertaken by Professor John Thompson on the recent transformation of the book publishing industry has had an impact on practitioners in the publishing industry; on associated professions dependent on the publishing industry, such as writers of fiction and general interest nonfiction; on libraries and their acquisition policies; and on public debates. International reach is attested to by, among other things, invitations to address key professional bodies and writers organizations in the UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Brazil and Argentina, citations in government reports in Norway and participation in policy discussions at the Library of Congress in the US. 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) The underpinning research was carried out by Thompson in the period from 1999 to 2012 at the Department of Sociology in Cambridge.

...Analysis of a Team Charter MGMT/521 Analysis of a Team Charter Implementing a team charter is strategic when collaborating, merging, and managing individual differences and similarities. The charter is a guide for a team of peers to follow and acknowledge while considering the team’s personality types, listening skills, and trust levels. The charter will develop and enhance the quality of collective performance within the group throughout the course. Ground rules, guidelines, expectations for time management, involvement, ensuring fair and even contribution, collaboration, and special considerations are set as parameters for the charter. Individual assessments evaluate team trust levels. “This instrument was designed to test your faith in people. Scores will range from 1 (high faith) to 5 (low faith)” (Pearson Prentice Hall, 2007). Collectively, scores for Team E range from one to three. Significantly, scores of medium to high faith prevailed, establishing cohesion. Analysis and interpretation of the listening skills assessment suggests “Effective communicators have developed good listening skills. This instrument is designed to provide you with some insights into your listening skills” (Pearson Prentice Hall, 2007). Results from this assessment confirm the majority have honed listening skills, an essential element in collaborating and cooperating. Evaluation of interpersonal perceptions verifies conclusive evidence for improved success. Friendliness, interpersonal...

...Projective technique – Word associated Word association is a projective technique where the respondent is presented with a stimulus and is asked to respond with the first thing that comes to their mind when shown a given name, photo or event (Malhotra (1999)). According to Malhotra & Berks (2000) the assumption of using this technique is that the association allows respondents to reveal their inner feelings about the topic. Responses can be analysed by calculating either of the following: 1. The frequency of any word that is given as a response. 2. The amount of time it takes before a response is given (hesitation). 3. The number of respondents that don’t respond to the test word (blocking). If the respondent takes more than three seconds to answer a particular question this is called hesitation, and this indicates some comparison between emotional involvement from that chosen word. Which will mean sometimes the stimulus word will evoke such strong feeling that the respondent will be unable to give any response because of the ‘block’ (Chisnall (2005)). According to Kolb (2008) this technique gains emotional responses to questions instead of the respondents giving intellectual thoughts or information about the company so we thought that this would be an acceptable method to use as it offers something different than your traditional questionnaire for example. By us as the research team using this technique we may decide to ask the respondents to give the first...

...Describe Last week, Ms Soon asked us to do personality test to see which respective role we are in. After doing the test, the result told me that I am a thinker. Today we were asked to form team of fives with each of every role in the team. After forming the team, we were asked to do the task assigned by our tutor. Interpret The objectives of doing all these is to make sure that all the team have the gender balanced so that we can understand each other well. This is also to prepare us in the future where we can easily work in groups. Team is crucial because it engages in some goal-oriented activity while also striving for good social relations and a general state of well-being (Tyson,1989). Evaluate I felt quite shocked after knowing that I am a thinker which I think it is quite true. Besides, I was quite satisfied with the team selection process because I am able to team with people that have different knowledge and also gender balanced. Plan My plan is to tell my group to work in accordance to their purpose because people working in accordance with their purpose are far more likely to seek to contribute something greater to the world through their work (Frehse,2003). I also plan to forgive everyone after knowing that they did wrong because we are working as a team. References Tyson, T , 1998, Working with Groups, 2nd edn, Macmillan Education, Melbourne.

...The Book Publishing Industry Assessment 1: Industry Opportunity Analysis Name: Joyce Yi Student no: n9102434 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The publishing industry is incredibly resilient and is undergoing some incredible changes. This report will analyse the industry with respect to the 4C’s of Entertainment Marketing and identify the key opportunities that are currently evident within the publishing industry and thus devise two potential ideas for future development and implementations. Research has found that indie publishers and authors are taking up a huge portion of the market and therefore more beneficial for these professionals to create digital content and distribute it independently. As publishers are not educated in IT and data Analytics, these skill sets will need to be outsourced or taught in order for self-publishers to maximise their revenue and consumer retention. Mobile applications are also proving to be the new way to read digital content by enhancing the consumer’s experience, thus adding value to the product. The growth of virtual spaces that allow people to network and collaborate on creative projects are also increasing and globalisation has shaken the industry and provide huge opportunities to bring distribution closer to the consumer and pursue a much larger audience. Therefore, this analysis indicates there could be future development for a platform at which authors, publishers, and developers can come together to collaborate and create book...
