Creative Industries and Entrepreneurship: Paradigms in Transition from a Global Perspective

This book aims first to investigate the evolving paradigm of the CCIs and creative entrepreneurship and the related economy. We explore different stages of how this paradigm has developed in ‘first-generation countries’ such as North America, Canada, Australia and Europe and ‘second-generation countries’ like Asia, South America and North Africa. This research attempts to identify new trends and any distinctions that have emerged. It links creative industries and entrepreneurship, pointing out the role of innovation and creativity by analysing behaviours, processes and outcomes, and using aggregated data and selected case studies to develop broad theoretical perspectives from a global context.
