This is the first comprehensive history of MGM from its origins in 1905 to the present. Following a straightforward chronology corresponding to specific periods of film industry history, each chapter describes how successive managements adjusted their production strategies and business practices in response to evolving industrial and market conditions. As the production subsidiary of the Loew’s Incorporated theatre chain, MGM spent lavishly on its pictures and injected them with plenty of star power. The practice helped sustain MGM’s preeminent position during the heyday of Hollywood. But MGM was a conservative company and watched as other studios innovated with sound and widescreen, adjusted to television, and welcomed independent producers. By the 1960s, the company, sans its theatre chain, was in decline and was ripe for a takeover. A defining moment occurred in 1969, when Kirk Kerkorian, a Las Vegas entrepreneur, made a successful bid for the company. There followed a tumultuous thirty-six-year period when Kerkorian bought and sold MGM three times. Meanwhile, MGM never regained its former status and has functioned as a second-tier company to this day. Focusing on MGM’s top talent – such as Louis B. Mayer, Irving Thalberg, David O. Selznick, and Arthur Freed; directors King Vidor and Vincente Minnelli; and stars of the screen Greta Garbo, Judy Garland, Clark Gable, and Mickey Rooney – and award-winning films, this book highlights the studio’s artistic achievements and status within the industry.

Spätestens seit den frühen Formationen einer auf Notendrucken basierenden Musikindustrie unterhalten musikferne Unternehmen Beziehungen zu Musik und ihren Akteur*innen. Damals wurden vornehmlich Kosmetik und Tabakprodukte in Notenbüchern beworben. Heute jedoch haben sich die Formen, bei denen Musik in den kommerziellen Aktivitäten musikferner Akteur*innen eine Rolle spielt, ausdifferenziert. Gleichzeitig hat der Markt für Aktivitäten wie Sponsoring oder Werbung an Volumen zugenommen. Hierbei spielen Marken eine besondere Rolle. Um Marken aufzubauen publizieren Unternehmen Musikmagazine, vertreiben Tonträger, organisieren und streamen Konzerte oder nehmen gar Künstler*innen mit eigenen Labels unter Vertrag. Gleichzeitig werden auch Künstler*innen und Bands durch die Musikindustrie immer stärker als Marken aufgebaut. Das Jahrbuch der GMM „Musik & Marken“ sondiert die Forschung zu Musik und Marken, versammelt empirische Befunde und zeigt neue Forschungsperspektiven in der Untersuchung von „Musik & Marken“ auf. Die Herausgeber*innen Lorenz Grünewald-Schukalla ist Geschäftsführer der Gesellschaft für Musikwirtschafts- und Musikkulturforschung e.V. und Referent für digitale Technologien und Innovationen beim AWO Bundesverband. Dr. Anita Jóri ist Post-Doc Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin im Vilém Flusser Archiv, Universität der Künste, Berlin. Dr. Holger Schwetter ist selbständiger Musikwissenschaftler, Kulturmanager und Berater und hat Lehraufträge an der Hochschule Osnabrück und der Universität Paderborn.
