Abstract
Musi-Blox est un projet de création d'un logiciel de composition musicale pour non-musiciens. Le cas traite des questionnements de jeunes musiciens devenus gestionnaires dans le contexte d'une entreprise de multimédia.
Teaching objectives
Ce cas permet à l’étudiant de :
- démontrer sa capacité à conduire une analyse de cas complète articulée au moins autour d’un diagnostic, d’une identification/formulation de problème et d’une analyse approfondie (théorique et pratique) des enjeux et dynamiques de la situation qui devrait déboucher sur des enseignements généraux à tirer de cet exemple pour la pratique de la gestion;
- mobiliser des connaissances théoriques pour argumenter ses positions et pour expliquer et fonder chacune des étapes de son analyse;
- avancer quelques réflexions sur ce qui distingue les pratiques contemporaines de management exposées dans le cas des pratiques plus traditionnelles;
- engager une réflexion personnelle quant à ses habiletés générales (forces et faiblesses) de management et de management de projet.

Abstract
Musi-Blox is a project that aims to create musical composition software for non-musicians. The case deals with the struggles of a young musician who has recently become a manager in a multimedia company.
Teaching objectives
This case enables students to:
- demonstrate their capacity to conduct a comprehensive case analysis based on at least one diagnostic, on the identification/formulation of a problem and on an in-depth analysis (theoretical and practical) of the issues and dynamics of the situation, which should lead to the identification of general lessons for managerial practice;
- draw on theoretical knowledge to support their positions and to explain and justify each step of their analysis;
- put forward their ideas on how the contemporary management practices exposed in the case are different from more traditional management practices;
- engage in a personal reflection on their general management and project management skills (strengths and weaknesses).
