Creative (and Cultural) Industry Entrepreneurship in the 21st Century: Policy Challenges for and by Policymakers
About this ebook
Both volumes of Creative (and Cultural) Industry Entrepreneurship in the 21st Century map and elucidate the adaptations and challenges faced by the creative professionals and the entrepreneurial solutions they have co-developed. Illuminating how contexts and recent socio-economic disruptive challenges influence how value is created and maintained from start-up to growth and exit, the chapter authors take a fresh look at creative micro-businesses and SMEs, the processes leading to their formation, developments and their founders. This volume 2 adds a focus on how creative ventures could contribute to economic development and the challenges policy makers face.
Contemporary Issues in Entrepreneurship Research is an official book series of the Institute for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ISBE).
