Abstract
The article is centered on the cultural analysis of the weak links of the global music industry. The research polarizes the structural components of the global music industry by including them within an illustrative figure developed by the author. This procedure is used to argue the personal vision on the music industry, although the researched issue contains the author’s precedent incursion into both the functional field of the music industry and the previous theories about the music industry. Thus, under the conditions of the persistence of the conflict between the musical creativity and technological progress, the theory of weak links highlights the main structural aspect: between the proximal components of the music industry there is a constant erosion of functional connections, which leads to the appearance of systemic breaches. The special feature of the research consists in the identification and interpretation of the weak links of the current music industry. As a result of the research, two directions of development of the global music industry are put forward- revolutive and involutive, which are shaping two new industries: the created music industry and the produced sound industry. This research complements the theoretical spectrum of the sociology of culture as well as the field of arts management in the public and private sectors. At the same time, the analysis of the cultural impact, of the globalized music industry on the local music industry structures gives this research a civilized character, relevance and applicability for the Republic of Moldova.
