"A vital resource for anyone involved in arts management, arts business, economics, agribusiness, and the finance industry, this book effectively bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering real-world examples drawn from the creative and cultural industries. It offers practical insights into management and organizational behavior in creative contexts, making it especially useful for students studying the entertainment industries and for those aiming to enter the sector as future creative professionals or managers. Through its use of case studies and applied theory, the book equips students and emerging professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate complexities and build meaningful, sustainable careers in the creative sector." Yovita Aryani, The Journal of Arts Management, Law and Society
"The uniqueness of cultural organizations stems from their subordination to artistic creativities and the fact that such symbolic creativities are not bound to set rules. This means that effective leaders of such organizations are the ones who are able to manage an output or product that is extremely uncertain. This book is essential reading for those who aspire to become such leaders." Guy Morrow, University of Melbourne, Australia
"I’ve long thought that Saintilan and Schreiber’s book couldn’t be surpassed. But it has been. The second edition is even better!" Stephen Brown, Ulster University Business School, UK.
"Building upon the substantial coverage and real world applications of the first edition, this new edition includes opportunities and challenges posed by technology-based innovations in content creation and evolving forms of engagement with social media. Additionally, the new volume addresses evolving sensibilities of cultural sector stakeholders toward the environment, diversity and inclusion." Robert DeFillippi, Sawyer Business School, Suffolk University, UK.
"Accounting for the increased influence of social media and digitization, this updated book also includes coverage of diversity, mental health, wellbeing and the Covid 19 pandemic. An informative reference book for students of the creative industries." Marius J Carboni, University of Surrey and Morley College, UK
