10-year (or more) period based on your research. You will then analyse the research
data and construct a hypothesis on how the decision-making processes and external
factors, such as social and political context, fashion and timing may have affected
the commercial and creative outcomes. You will examine in particular how
management decisions may have impacted on the artist’s profile and commercial
success in a positive or negative manner.
