Existing research presents conflicting evidence regarding the relationship between remote work and productivity. However, few have examined the specific mechanisms through which remote work affects productivity. Given this, the present study bridges this gap by examining changes in job assignment as one mechanism in which working from home affects labor productivity. We empirically examine the impact of work-from-home (WFH) on job tasks using original data collected before and during the pandemic. Our results demonstrate that WFH increases non-routine analytic tasks and decreases routine manual tasks, while non-routine interactive, routine cognitive, and non-routine manual tasks remain unchanged. Furthermore, the negative impact of WFH on routine manual tasks is more significant for the groups that had more routine manual tasks before the pandemic. Meanwhile, the positive impact on non-routine analytic tasks is more pronounced for employees with fewer non-routine analytic tasks before the pandemic. Finally, through such task changes, WFH leads to higher wage rates. Our findings suggest that the switch to WFH and increased use of information and communication technology capital increases the input for non-routine tasks performed by labor, and, in turn, increases labor productivity.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141849014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on desk research and primary data from semi-structured surveys conducted with C-level executives and managers, this empirical analysis identifies major projects, their state of development, and prospects for digital transformation based on blockchain in the music industry. The findings reveal that there are a limited number of blockchain projects led by and/or with the relevant participation of CMOs. However, most are just research projects, proofs of concept, or pilots, showing that blockchain is currently in an experimental phase of development on the periphery of the music industry's digital transformation. This is not very different from analysts' understanding of the current situation and perspectives on the mass adoption of blockchain in other industries. In summary, blockchain is neither at the core of the music industry's digital transformation nor a priority for CMOs leading this process from the perspective of intellectual property rights management. The limited quality of music metadata, sparsity of sound data sources, and absence of a common data governance framework among different stakeholders within the industry are the main impediments to transforming blockchain into a global solution with transformative potential. Overall, the results provide a snapshot of the current status and possible future trajectories of blockchain adoption as a paradigm for intellectual property rights exchange within the music industry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308596124001149/pdfft?md5=15d21a6eab8d764cda89755b9792d79a&pid=1-s2.0-S0308596124001149-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141715482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
