Already dealing with disruptive market forces, the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) faced fundamental challenges resulting from the global health crisis, wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. With catastrophic changes to cultural consumption, cultural organizations are dealing with short-, medium-, and long-term threats to livelihoods under lockdown.This book aims at filling the literature gap about the consequences of one of the hardest crises - COVID-19 - severely impacting all the fields of the CCIs. With a focus on European countries and taking into account the evolving and unstable context caused by the pandemic still in progress, this book investigates the first reactions and actual strategies of CCIs' actors, government bodies, and cultural institutions facing the COVID-19 crisis and the potential consequences of these emergency strategies for the future of the CCIs. Solutions adopted during the repeated lockdowns by CCIs' actors could originate new forms of cultural consumption and/or new innovative market strategies. This book brings together a constellation of contributors to analyze the cultural sector as it seeks to emerge from this existential challenge.The global perspectives presented in this book provide research-based evidence to understand and reflect on an unprecedented period, allowing reflective practitioners to learn and develop from a range of real-world cases. The book will also be of interest to researchers, academics, and students with a particular interest in the management of cultural and creative organizations and crisis management.

This research-based book investigates the effects of digital transformation on the cultural and creative sectors. Through cases and examples, the book examines how artists and art institutions are facing the challenges posed by digital transformation, highlighting both positive and negative effects of the phenomenon.With contributions from an international range of scholars, the book examines how digital transformation is changing the way the arts are produced and consumed. As relative late adopters of digital technologies, the arts organizations are shown to be struggling to adapt, as issues of authenticity, legitimacy, control, trust, and co-creation arise.Leveraging a variety of research approaches, the book identifies managerial implications to render a collection that is valuable reading for scholars involved with arts and culture management, the creative industries and digital transformation more broadly.

This shortform book defines and situates the role of Public Relations as a creative industry and discusses the trends and issues that the sector is facing within the wider context of the Creative Industries.Traversing and distilling both industry and scholarly research, the author will call on perspectives from a range of areas, including creativity, psychology, advertising, and marketing. Creativity and innovation are crucial elements in times of profound transformation such as those being experienced nowadays by the PR industry. The ability to generate new ideas is a competitive advantage of organizations. Nevertheless, although traditionally the focus has been on individual creativity, this book highlights the importance of organizational creativity in PR, becoming a result of teamwork and social interaction.This book will be a valuable resource for researchers and scholars looking at how creativity is an important asset in Public Relations. It will also be useful for students of Corporate Communication and Public Relations studies, for both undergraduate and postgraduate programs and PR practitioners who want to increase their creativity, learning from creative techniques and case studies.

This book provides an in-depth exploration of two key aspects of managing cultural collaborations: managing the multiple identities of venture participants and managing the diverse images and brand relationships.There are a variety of books available on mergers and acquisitions in the corporate world, but cultural joint ventures have not been examined in detail, and there are significant differences to consider. Cultural joint ventures are emerging as an important organizational structure in the creative sector. This is largely due to uncertainties in public funding, increased competition for audiences, and the ongoing search for innovative programming. Although arts organizations need to understand and manage these economic aspects, other aspects including internal culture, identity, and brand image are vital to the successful management of cultural joint ventures. Taking a global view and covering a variety of creative collaborations, the authors present case studies from Scandinavia, Europe, North and South America, and New Zealand.From a managerial point of view, this book is valuable not only for a range of managers working in different types of cultural centres but also for managers working within various collaborative efforts in the creative industries more broadly. This will also be a valuable resource for researchers and scholars in the fields of arts management and marketing.
