Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cultural and creative industries involve music, literature, visual arts, performing arts, film, photography, museums, galleries, libraries, craftmanship, publishing and print media, TV, radio, music, video and computer games, architecture, design, fashion, and advertising. The concept of “cultural industries” is related to the expression of unique cultural values, while “creative industries” are concerned with the exploitation and generation of new knowledge and information. Cultural and creative industries are strongly interconnected, as the creative process of knowledge generation is strongly embedded in cultural values and at the same time contributes to the dynamic process of cultural development. These industries represent around 6% of GDP in economies, but this understates their strategic relevance, as feelings of identity and belonging have a strong influence on the welfare of people, and creativity is a key source of international competitiveness. These industries face threats of acculturation, agglomeration, globalisation, assimilation, discrimination and migration, which may weaken the vitality of local cultures and languages, but also new opportunities such as digital transformation, cross-cultural exchange and international trade. This is changing the dynamics of how cultural and creative industries are building new business models.

In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions that help managers in cultural and creative industries to face these strategic challenges with, for example, 1) new business models, 2) new organizational forms and governance, 3) new internationalization models, 4) new public-private partnerships, 5) cultural or creative product or service development, 6) new digital technologies, 7) new marketing approaches for cultural and creative industries 8) and new ways to involve and serve stakeholders. However, these topics are by no means exclusive. Any topic that can be linked to the strategic challenges of cultural and creative industries is welcome to this Special Issue.

The imperative demands placed on modern business management necessitate the exploration of novel approaches to adapt, innovate, and ensure effectiveness and efficiency. The integration of art into business management aligns with this rationale, indicating a trend towards art’s incorporation into various managerial dimensions. As a discipline primarily focused on understanding managerial practices, management science has been investigating the utilization of art in the workplace since the early 2000s. The subject of art in the business environment has garnered various names and significant attention as a major trend. Through bibliometric analysis, we can characterize the evolution of scientific production and map the prevailing ideas in this field. By examining a sample of 69 articles retrieved from the Scopus database, this study lays the foundation for structuring art-based managerial thinking, while acknowledging certain limitations that may guide future research endeavors.

Subscription video-on-demand platforms such as Netflix and HBO Max are being increasingly challenged by the widespread practice of sharing accounts with individuals outside the household. Platforms face a massive loss of revenue due to the opportunistic behavior of many users who enjoy content without paying anything or paying only a part of the required subscription fees. This study explores which factors influence platform users to pay all, part, or none of the subscription fees. Using a cross-sectional survey from Spain, various demographic, attitudinal, and behavioral factors were identified as predictors of the patterns of full, partial, and non-payment. The findings may help platform managers tailor some interventions to monetize a larger number of actual users by deterring the opportunistic payment patterns without discouraging the full payment pattern.

This study explores the most significant changes experienced by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. It reveals the SMEs’ strategies to survive and prosper amid the crisis. These actions are becoming increasingly invaluable and crucial for entrepreneurs in the heritage of humanity, such as Indonesian batik, who must stay in business to preserve national culture. This study conducts a systematic literature review of 42 relevant articles published between 2020 and the present and furthers the investigation using the Most Significant Change technique, involving in-depth interviews with 15 SME entrepreneurs. The results show that Indonesian batik SMEs struggled during the pandemic and experienced at least a 70% revenue reduction. Those who survived implemented retrenchment, persevering, and innovation strategies to achieve their short- and long-term goals. A temporary exit strategy was also applied in which business actors engaged in a different, more profitable business while awaiting normalcy. This study also found that true entrepreneurs’ qualities, namely creativity and resilience, emerge in exceptionally difficult business situations. Full article
