BUILDING SUCCESSFUL AND SUSTAINABLE FILM AND TELEVISION BUSINESSES: A CROSS-NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE, EVA BAKOY, ROEL PUIJK AND ANDREW SPICER (EDS) (2017)

摘要

This collection of case studies is based on a research project funded by the Norwegian Research Council. Unlike earlier studies, it seeks to focus on micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) based in Europe. The difference between MSMEs and larger conglomerates raises issues within film and television production about standardization and unpredictability, repetition and variation. Such issues are used to explore the diverse meanings of success in MSMEs. In this way, cultural production in film and television is understood as a complex series of micro-practices by individual agents within specific national contexts. How these micro-practices can be interpreted across different national contexts, which forms the book's core theme, adds to our knowledge of film and television production in Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
