Reviews

'Guy Morrow goes well beyond truisms such as an artist is a start-up business because he knows that such truisms don't sustain the various phases of any artistic career. Instead, his focus is on the value of agility amidst increasing complexity. Managers in every industry can learn from this.' - Catherine Moore, PhD, Adjunct Professor, University of Toronto, Canada 'Guy Morrow has had a fascinating career as an artist management `pracademic' (i.e. both a practitioner and academic). This makes his work of particular relevance and interest to those of us seeking to bridge theory and practice.' - Paul Saintilan, CEO, Collarts and Macleay Colleges, Australia, co-author of Managing Organizations in the Creative Economy: Organizational Behaviour for the Cultural Sector

Co-author of Managing Organizations in the Creative Economy: Organizational Behaviour for the Cultural Sector 'Artist Management offers a timely understanding of the manifold ways in which contemporary creative producers need to deal with uncertainty and career development. Incorporating the experiences of practitioners and the insights of contemporary scholarly work, Guy Morrow has crafted a highly engaging book.' - Dr. Erik Hitters, Associate Professor of Media and Creative Industries, Managing Director of the Erasmus Research Centre for Media, Communication and Culture, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands. 'This book opens up key concerns for theory and practice: how do contemporary practices such as agile management, lean start up and crowd-funding relate to the big questions of what are the arts and how should they be managed.' - Doris Ruth Eikhof, CAMEo Research Institute, University of Leicester, UK
