The Creative Industries represent a vital, exciting and rapidly changing field of activity; one that is now recognised as a key growth sector in the knowledge-based economy. However, there is still a general lack of understanding of what is meant by the term 'Creative Industry', and interestingly, to date, the creative sector has not been the subject of concerted academic research. Thus, this timely book aims to inform academics, policy makers, support agencies and creative entrepreneurs about current priority issues on the Creative Industries research agenda, and platforms some of the key challenges yet to be addressed. Leading academics deal with a range of issues within the Creative Industries across different countries and contexts and the book provides valuable insights into the creative entrepreneurial process from an international perspective.
