When the world becomes too developed and too advanced to the point of exploding with information and technology, it is so difficult to stir up a novel idea, or create a path that no one has taken before. The article The Power of Virtual Integration: An Interview with Dell Computer’s Michael Dell, or to be more specific, Dell Inc.’s CEO Michael Dell himself, however, really did inspire people.

Looking back at the world history, weren’t the ones who care about people and place the benefits of people on top the winners? The Japanese government, for example, has even given the prominence to the core factor, its “people”, as the top priority policy when they always ensure: Domestic goods must have the best quality. Dell thinks highly of the relationship between the company and their customers. His direct business model stressed just that one important factor, which makes them one of the world’s leading PC sellers.

His crucial strategy is using other suppliers’ components and focusing on bringing the best services to customers. And he proudly asked that one question: “Do you want to be the twenty-first horse, or do you want to evaluate the field of 20 and pick the best one?”. Gosh is it brilliant how it makes us feel so satisfied and victorious now that we know: WE are the decision maker.

Tagore, one of the greatest poets of the world, said: “Music is the purest form of art, and therefore the most direct expression of beauty.” Music is always so wonderful, so pleasant that no one can resist falling in love with it. However, when music is concerned with people’s self interest and financial benefits in the music world (that we should now call “music industry”), it can no longer be as pure as we assumed. Can artists actually make the music they love for their loyal fans (or simply just music lovers)? Can artists freely show the world all the hard work and efforts they spend days and nights in recording studios and training rooms? The answer is NO.

There are entertainment agencies who continuously “manipulate” the music world. Music shouldn’t be regarded as money making tool. Artists mustn’t be treated unfairly. Companies must not use their power to conduct tricks and illicit affairs, just as “business should be engaged in open and free competition without deception or fraud” (“The Social Responsibility of Business is to increase its profit” – Milton Friedman). Music industry, or business, needs all the responsibility and ethics of not only individuals but also corporations.
