Entrepreneurship and the Creative Economy contains a range of theoretical and empirically based research contributions that collectively consider and debate the process, policy and practice of the creative economy.

The 'creative economy' and the broad spectrum of creative industries that it encompasses, is increasingly important in the 21st century's global economy. In challenging economic conditions, creative industries are both politically and economically appealing with governments around the world now recognizing their potential as a source of employment and entrepreneurial endeavor. As such, this informative book will play a vital part in furthering our understanding of the creative industries and the role they play in economic development.
