One of the world’s most prolific creative industries, the Indian movie industry

has received scant attention for its spirit of enterprise. Indian Movie Entrepreneurship

addresses this omission.

For many readers, it might come as a surprise that the Indian movie industry is

not just Bollywood and that it has several regional clusters, which are just as vibrant,

with a significant output. The authors begin by outlining the contours of Indian

cinema and the different regional language hubs that form part of the larger picture.

The reader is then offered a glimpse into the actual process of making a film

from day zero to release day. The key players in the Indian movie ecosystem are

analysed, with the central role of the producer highlighted. Concluding with a look

into the future of the entrepreneurial process in the Indian movie industry, the

authors illuminate the shifting parameters of distribution and exhibition.

Appealing to those interested in understanding the entrepreneurial journey of

the Indian movie industry, the book provides a sneak peek into the business

landscape of India more broadly.

This research compendium of arts governance brings expert insights from management through the humanities and social sciences to provide a comprehensive global overview of how the field is evolving as the world is in turmoil.

Moving beyond the traditional governance focus on boards, the book is structured across a framework that provides five levels of analysis: individual board directors, boards, arts organisations, community collaborations and public policy instances around the world. Contributors examine urgent contemporary issues in arts governance such as toxic leadership, bad behaviour, discrimination and post-colonialism. They present governance definitional challenges, governance struggles for organisations of different sizes and types, in different regimes, with different accountabilities, complexities, collaborations and policy environments.

Experts from around the world are brought together in this book to explore and illuminate the creative sector’s distinct dynamics in arts governance. The book is an essential scholarly resource for academics, students and reflective practitioners of arts and cultural management.

Since the crisis in governance which led to a shortage of capable board members, recent years have seen the emergence of the enterprising arts organisation – a development which has led to the need for new types of board members who have a greater understanding of ''mission, money and merit'' within a cultural construct.

This innovative book explores the world of the arts board member from the unique perspective of the cultural and creative industries. Using a wide range of research techniques including interviews with board members and stakeholders, board observations and case studies this book provides a rich and deep analysis from inside the boardroom. It provides in-depth insight into the changing pressures on arts boards after the financial crisis, and focuses uniquely on the role of passion on arts boards.

Part of the Routledge Research in Creative and Cultural Industries Management series, written specifically for people seeking to develop their careers in cultural and creative management, this book is also for people working in and with arts organisations, in government and non-profit arts organisations. It will also be of interest to academics and researchers working in the wider corporate governance field.
