INVESTIGATION OF MARKETING STRATEGIES IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRIES

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The importance of communication cannot be overemphasized. Communication has from the onset been a fundamental and crucial part of human existence. Without communication, humans cannot survive because communication is the only means through which ideas and knowledge could be passed from one generation to the other. Baran (2011) is of the opinion that communication is the transmission of information from a source to a receiver. “Communication has been variously defined as the passing of information, the exchange of ideas, or the process of establishing a commonness or oneness of thought between a sender and a receiver.” (Belch & Belch, 2003. p. 139)

Communication has various functions of which include; information provision, education and entertainment. These major functions are vividly unavoidable in our daily lives. As individuals, we seek to gain more information and educate ourselves about the world in which we inhabit and also a need to escape from the necessities of life bring us to the use of entertainment such as films, books, magazines, video games etc.

Defining music is not any easy task to be achieved because music has a variety of definitions and not an exact one. Many individuals have made conscious efforts to give meaning to music in the way that suits them the most. Scholars have therefore provided their own definition of music in order to give it a standard definition. According to Levinson (1990), as cited in Davies (2015), defines music as an art which involves an individual momentarily making sounds for the soul aim of strengthening experience through active engagement such as dancing, listening and performing.
