'This second edition introduces students to the organizational life and behavior of cultural organizations. The authors have added new topical chapters and have reorganised others and in doing so have provided an updated and even more specialized text concerning organizational behavior in the creative and cultural industries. This book addresses the idiosyncrasies of these industries that are generated by the creative/aesthetic autonomy of the artist. The uniqueness of cultural organizations stems from their subordination to artistic creativities and the fact that such symbolic creativities are not bound to set rules. This means that effective leaders of such organizations are the ones who are able to manage an output or product that is extremely uncertain. This book is a ""must read"" for those who aspire to become such leaders.' Guy Morrow, University of Melbourne, Australia 'I’ve long thought that Saintilan and Schreiber’s book couldn’t be surpassed. But it has been. The second edition is even better!' Stephen Brown, Ulster University Business School, Belfast 'The second edition builds upon the substantial strengths of topic coverage and real world applications of the first edition to include opportunities and challenges posed by technology-based innovations in content creation and evolving forms of engagement with social media. Additionally, the new volume addresses evolving sensibilities of cultural sector stakeholders toward the environment, diversity and inclusion.' Robert DeFillippi, Sawyer Business School, Suffolk University 'This 2nd edition helpfully updates the structures and methodologies currently in practice within the creative industries, taking into account the increased influence of social media and digitization. Two new chapters on diversity and mental health & wellbeing are included, both even more pertinent after the Covid 19 pandemic. As before each chapter begins with a summary of what the student will study for each topic, questions on the chapter and relevant case studies for analysis. Overall an informative reference book for any Creative Industries student wishing to understand how this sector operates with examples of operational and personnel issues it might encounter and how to overcome them.'
