How big data is transforming the creative industries, and how those industries can use lessons from Netflix, Amazon, and Apple to fight back.

" The authors explain] gently yet firmly exactly how the internet threatens established ways and what can and cannot be done about it. Their book should be required for anyone who wishes to believe that nothing much has changed."
--The Wall Street Journal

"Packed with examples, from the nimble-footed who reacted quickly to adapt their businesses, to laggards who lost empires."
--Financial Times

Traditional network television programming has always followed the same script: executives approve a pilot, order a trial number of episodes, and broadcast them, expecting viewers to watch a given show on their television sets at the same time every week. But then came Netflix's House of Cards. Netflix gauged the show's potential from data it had gathered about subscribers' preferences, ordered two seasons without seeing a pilot, and uploaded the first thirteen episodes all at once for viewers to watch whenever they wanted on the devices of their choice.

In this book, Michael Smith and Rahul Telang, experts on entertainment analytics, show how the success of House of Cards upended the film and TV industries--and how companies like Amazon and Apple are changing the rules in other entertainment industries, notably publishing and music. We're living through a period of unprecedented technological disruption in the entertainment industries. Just about everything is affected: pricing, production, distribution, piracy. Smith and Telang discuss niche products and the long tail, product differentiation, price discrimination, and incentives for users not to steal content. To survive and succeed, businesses have to adapt rapidly and creatively. Smith and Telang explain how.

How can companies discover who their customers are, what they want, and how much they are willing to pay for it? Data. The entertainment industries, must learn to play a little "moneyball." The bottom line: follow the data.

Perfect for Tiny Hands
Color: Carrot
These have been a game changer for teaching our toddler how to eat more independently. The size is perfect for tiny hands and the quality is great. We have multiple sets and they have all held up without issue in the dishwasher.

Wonderful!
Color: Bees
I am so impressed with these! They are not too big, not too small, and sturdy! The first fork and spoon my 17 month old son was able to use as intended! I’ve tried a few different silicone baby spoons and forks (some of similar style, and some with longer handles and smaller mouth pieces) and none worked for my son to use on his own with success, unless what he was eating could easily stick itself to the spoon (like oatmeal or yogurt). The handles of these are short enough for him to direct, the mouthpiece is small enough to fit his little mouth, and sturdy enough to pick up his food. He can scoop and skewer most foods and eat without using his hands! I could not recommend enough!

Would reccomend.
Color: Dinosaur
Ready to use for 9month olds who is learning to feed herself. I like the handles of the utensils made with good material that when it is being bit, thrown and sterilized it did not damage. Light weight and I pack it with the container it came with to travel. The spoon and fork sizes are perfect for a small bite. They fit her hands perfectly for her grip.
