Abstract Moscow is home to a quarter of Russia’s creative workers and generates over half of the creative industry’s value added. Due to its favourable development, the sector is increasingly receiving attention from policy makers and academics alike as a feasible option to reduce the country’s dependence on its extractive industries. The signs look promising: the city’s creative industries are likely to grow fast, attract investments and have become a successful exporter of creative goods and services. This paper provides an assessment of Moscow’s creative industries and asks what needs to be done in order to allow the industry to prosper.

Abstract In this article, we unravel the production network of a large acoustic wall in a newly built theatre in Rotterdam. This project can be seen as a deviant case in the sense that it goes against the grain of the often observed long-term trend of erosion of the role of architects. This erosion signifies not just a loss for this specific group of professionals, but – given the omnipresence of the built environment in everyday life – also entails risks for society at large. We depart from the Global Network Approach, which can be considered as a heuristic tool to analyse complex production networks, spread out over several interdependent actors and locations. By focusing on the production process, we open up the black box of design in a creative industry based on in-depth interviews with the key players of the production network of the wall. We argue that the prominent role of the architectural practice involved is based on (1) their ‘digital workflow’ strategy; and (2) the specific network structure and relations which allowed them to be important in both design and realisation of the wall.

Abstract Literature on the substance and ideational value of soft power is not in short supply. In Africa, although these studies are only beginning to emerge, many aspects of possible soft power sources are yet to be exhaustively explored. In this study, we examine the communicative function of humour beyond its therapeutic and entertainment value but as a soft power variable for nation branding. The aim of this article is therefore to provide an analysis of the soft power in Nigeria’s creative industry with emphasis on its growing digital comedy. To achieve this, the authors rely on primary data collected through online semi-structured interviews and comments from transnational interviewees who are viewers and admirers of the Mark Angel Comedy skits selected for the study. From our analysis of their responses, we submit that Nigeria’s digital comedy skits offer some soft power possibilities in several aspects of diplomacy and the positive affirmation of ‘Nigerianness’ as subtle ways of repositioning Nigeria’s receding image in the international sphere.

Abstract The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into the media production process has contributed to the automation of selected tasks and stronger hybridization of man and machine in the process; however, the AI-supported production process has expanded from the traditional, three-stage model by a new phase of consumer evaluation and feedback collection, analysis, and application. This has opened a way for far-reaching content personalization and thus offers a new type of media experience. Powering the production process with a constant stream of consumer data has also affected the process itself and changed its nature from linear to cyclical.

Abstract Firm growth in creative industries, which are characterized by craftmanship, imagination, artistic quality and innovativeness, is a conundrum. By means of a matched pair case study design of market leaders and followers in seven creative industries in the Netherlands, the present paper seeks to tackle this conundrum. It suggests that for entrepreneurial firms to develop (instead of stagnating or demising), founders need to fit in, or understand the value creation and conversion processes in vigor within their industry. For firms to grow by means of an expansion of their markets, founders need to stand out, or create resource advantages vis a vis other firms in the industry, which could lie in an internationalization or a digitalization vantage. Not despite of, but because of their quality focus, which accrues to reputation advantages and impact, creative firms succeed in growing. Lessons are drawn from how and why firms in creative industries develop and grow. These may contribute to firm growth assessment practices and process theories.

Abstract The central issue that guided the study was that of understanding how emerging market SMEs in the audiovisual industry overcome their liabilities of smallness, newness, outsidership, foreignness and emergingness when entering foreign markets through licensing. Using an abductive approach to the case method of investigation, the study analyzes three cases of animation studios from an emerging market, Brazil. The results show that the firms are quite different in the way they approach the international market through licensing. Each firm follows a trajectory that is strongly connected to its time of inception and its technological options. They use different approaches to overcome their liabilities, and thus deal with issues related to uncertainty, risk, commitment, and control. The study contributes in several ways to the understanding of how emerging market SMEs overcome their liabilities and enter foreign markets via licensing, including: establishing strategic partnerships, taking advantage of technology disruptions and industry turmoil early on, partnering with new players that are still building their networks, using home government incentives, and using the advantages of emergingness to enter alternative markets.
