Within this research theme, we consider good, bad and emergent business models for the cultural and creative industries. We will explore which existing business models can survive in the digital world, which cannot, and, most importantly, which new models will succeed and scale to drive growth and jobs in the creative economy. At present, research within this theme is currently being carried out across nine different projects:

• Managing Intellectual Property Assets for Creative SMEs (Part 1)
