In Previous Studies of the music industry, the "culture industry systems approach" has been presented as an analysis framework to the uncertainty of music business. However, the analysis framework to the complexity after entering in the 21st century is not yet presented. So, this paper presents "configuration approach" as an analysis framework to the complexity of music business, and discusses the usefulness of configuration approach from a theoretical and empirical side by using the case study of Avex Group Holdings Inc. with use of "organigraph" which is the analytical tool of configuration approach. As a result of the theoretical and empirical examination, this paper proves that configuration approach is an analysis framework which overcome three theoretical problems, "totality", "organizational change" and "strategic choice" which culture industry systems approach holds, and that configuration approach is useful to the organizational analysis of complexity.
