Creative Industries Switzerland

Policy makers at all levels are discovering the notion of creative industries: the music industry, literature and book market, art market, film and television industries, performing arts, design, architecture, advertising, software / computer games - from economic and innovation strategies to education policy and urban development, the creative industries are being described as a model for success. However, strategies for real, practical implementation remain vague. This publication provides a greatly needed overview of the concepts and specific characteristics of this sector. It analyzes the international discourse, presents up-to-date empirical-statistical Europe-wide analyses, derives models and draws conclusions for the current debate in Switzerland, and places special emphasis the innovative potential of the creative scene and its dynamic for the entire creative industry.Weckerle, Christoph is the author of 'Creative Industries Switzerland', published 2007 under ISBN 9783764379735 and ISBN 3764379731.
