These skills have historically not been taught to creative students, which leaves them unprepared to make a living from their artistic efforts. Entrepreneurship for the Creative and Cultural Industries will teach the basics of business in a way that is relevant to the challenges of running a small business marketing a creative product. Whether it is understanding the basics of business language, appreciating the crucial importance of finance, or using social media marketing, this innovative textbook covers the entrepreneurial skills required to succeed in the creative sector. Including advice from artists who have turned their idea into a profitable business and worksheets that can be combined into a simple business plan, Kolb helps non-business-minded creatives to understand everything they need to succeed in the increasingly competitive creative economy. This textbook is essential reading for non-business students who are looking to understand the business side of the creative sector, while its practical style will also suit recent graduates in these industries.Additional ISBNs9780367419738|9780367817046, 0367419734|0367817047, 9780367419738, 0367419734Entrepreneurship for the Creative and Cultural Industries 2nd Edition is written by Bonita M.
