In one study, seven independent musicians with links to incubators were interviewed in order to investigate the importance of their networks and how co-opetition affects musicians' business models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By interviewing seven independent musicians, all of whom have had links to incubators, economics students Linnea and Marcus have found that clusters exist within the music industry and that musicians are happy to share knowledge, experience and resources within the cluster. However, sharing between clusters is not as common and musicians rather express that there is competition between clusters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Linnea Junkka, one of the authors of the study, has extensive experience in music and has studied music in schools, secondary schools and folk high schools. She herself plays classical trumpet and bass, but for a number of years has chosen a different career path, which led her to attend Ume\u00e5 Business School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
