Assessing Spotify’s success in value creation, value proposition and value capturing1. Introduction
Digitalization has brought radical transformation from a traditional way of listening to music,
MP3 to now Spotify. CDs and LPs were removed and has transformed its distribution channels to
online channels. As a result, suppliers, songwriters and artists have easier access to the market
(Richardson, 2014). Currently, it is described to be at the process of fourth industrial revolution or
also known as industry 4.0 where there is an integration of cyber physical systems (CPS) and services
in the industrial process (Wisskirchen et al 2017). Artificial intelligence has also been taking an
important role on the labor market and the distribution process in Spotify (Furman & Seamans, 2019).
For example, Spotify has been utilizing algorithms and artificial intelligence in giving a personalized
music experience to its users. However, there are negative consequences in utilizing artificial
intelligence as there is a chance of resulting in biased algorithms (Furman & Seamans, 2019). With
this speed, it is estimated that within the next 5 years, 50 billion connected machines will exist in the

model in industry 4.0 is Spotify and such radical transformation has brought some challenges to the
music industry is Spotify. In consequence, there were issues that arises from digitalization in the
music industry such as privacy issue and illegal downloading of music (Viogt et al, 2018). As a result,
major record companies suffered from losses due to an increase in illegal downloading and file
sharing websites.
Another challenge that Spotify suffered was the annual loss. Although streaming services
attempt to charge the willingness to pay for music, it still wire money out of the music that users listen
per song. A medium-sized record label recipes around 0.27p while Spotify suffers from an annual loss
of approximately £420m (Harris, 2018). There has been prior criticism over unfair royalty payouts by
failing to fairly compensate artists which led to Taylor Swift removing her entire music catalog from
