’As ''creative industries'' becomes a defined and recognized section of global economic policies, Henry and de Bruin provide a solid foundation for constructing a public policy that will require sharper definition, quantification, education and assessment. Utilizing a range of cross-continent case histories, they also explore the existing tension between the creative processes and business practices of entrepreneurs and entrenched firms. This volume could well start the next-decade section of a professional's book shelf.’
