- Research into the music industry has for a long time been almost exclusively dominated by a focus on the production of albums and songs. In recent years, however, cities such as Stockholm have seen the growth of a profitable and varied music services industry producing everything from remixes to music marketing strategies. Standing at the forefront of this growth industry are a large number of firms attempting to combine in innovative ways music and ICT. This can take a variety of forms, for instance: selling and distributing music over the internet; web design and computerised advertising services tailored to music products; software design focused on multimedia products and virtual instruments; high-tech post-production and mixing services; and virtual centres and communities of music industry actors. The article will examine these activities within the city in attempt to measure the direction and cohesiveness of the emerging sector. The article concludes by arguing that these type of new industrial synergies tell us much about the way industrial innovations are formed in an inter-industry and inter-cluster environment, and the future competitiveness and shape of the music industry. In particular, the article argues that evidence from Stockholm points to the emergence of a post-industrial musical economy.

- The study examines globalization processes in property markets through an empirical investigation into the commercial property market of Greater Copenhagen. The focus is on investment in commercial properties. Globalization of property markets is defined, a framework of analysis presented and methodological problems reported. The analysis reveals a marked increase in the volumes and shares of foreign direct investment in the Copenhagen commercial property market between 1983 and 1995, after which there occurred a marked decrease. The findings also suggest that the greater part of globalization in this case is accounted for by expansionary cross-border regionalization. Furthermore, there are manifestations of change in the stock exchange indicative of increased securitization of the market, facilitating a new round of globalization in the Copenhagen commercial property market.
