Creative and cultural industries, broadly defined, are now
considered by many policy makers across Europe at the heart of
their national innovation and economic development agenda.
Similarly, many European cities and regions have adopted policies
to support and develop these industries and their local support
infrastructures. However this policy-making agenda implicitly
incorporates (and indeed often conflates) elements of cultural and
creative industries, the creative class and so on, which are
typically employed without due consideration of context. Thus a
better understanding is required. To this end, this book features
eight research papers, split evenly with regard to geographical
focus between the UK and continental Europe (the latter covering
Spain, Germany, France, Luxemburg and Belgium individually and in
combination). There is also a similar division in terms of those
focusing primarily on the policy level (the chapters of Clifton and
Macaulay, Mould and Comunian, Pareja-Eastaway and Pradel i Miquel,
Perrin) and those of the individual creative actor (the chapters of
Alfken et al, Bennett et al, Wedemeier and Brown). This book was
previously published as a special issue of European Planning
Studies.
Europe has its strength in regional cultural diversity. However,
current debates surrounding globalisation and the integration of
markets tend to focus on the homogenisation of cultures, whilst the
emergence of vital and innovative regional cultures has typically
been neglected. This edited collection addresses this gap,
considering relevant questions such as how strategies,
orientations, values and symbols help a company to become aware of
its location, and how different regional cultures are of interest
to particular types of companies. The book's central focus is the
interaction of regional and corporate cultures; how different
cultures come together, shape each other and change. The volume
takes an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together research
from cultural science, regional science, social science and
economics. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the journal European Planning Studies.

There has been an increase in women entrepreneurs participating in
the growth of local, regional, national, and global economies.
While these women showcase crucial skills for strategic leadership
and strategy that can advance companies, they face cultural,
educational, social, and political barriers that impede their
development and participation within the global economy. Women
Entrepreneurs and Strategic Decision Making in the Global Economy
is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on
understanding the value of women entrepreneurs and the strategies
they can use on the economy and examines gender impact on strategic
management and entrepreneurship. While highlighting topics such as
emotional intelligence, global economy, and strategic leadership,
this book is ideally designed for managers, entrepreneurs,
policymakers, academicians, and students.
