Editor Henry (business studies, Dundalk Institute of Technology, Ireland) and 11 contributors offer a collection that both defines the term "creative industry" and offers insights into the
creative entrepreneurial process. Creative industries focus on the creation and exploitation of intellectual property such as arts and crafts, film and theater, advertising, broadcast media,
and recorded music, software development, and computer and related services. Writers offer examinations of creative industries in several parts of the world in a variety of sectors (such as
music, dance, and film), investment and funding, promoting entrepreneurship in arts education, and developing relationships between higher education, enterprise, and innovation in the creative
industries. The book is intended to provide information about priority issues on the research agenda of creative industries for policy makers, academics, support agencies, and entrepreneurs.
