This paper was published in July 2006 by Institute for Public Policy Research. It presented what copyright industries it is the author Anthony Lilley in mind. He also highlighted three tasks for policy makers: to look at how copyright works as part of overall system of value transfer and to reduce inefficiencies and friction, to concern the context in which copyright work is placed, and to influence the content in the market place and the mode of copyright.

This is the second of two articles on the generational transitioning of leadership in the arts. The first article, Boomers, XY's and the Making of a Generational Shift in Arts Management, sets the stage by outlining the similarities and differences in style, education and perspective that define arts and culture leaders from the Baby Boom and Generations X and Y (XY's). It further explores how this generational overlap can affect the ways in which they work together in the field of arts management.

There is a substantial and growing interest in developing entrepreneurship and the related area of equipping students for selfemployment or 'portfolio careers' in the arts and entertainment sector. The PACE project is building on the work of performing arts departments in this field by funding further initiatives, and developing resources and networks to support graduate entrepreneurship. This guide presents a review of recent literature on cultural entrepreneurship and discusses the issues surrounding the transition from arts higher education to professional artistic practice. It also highlights innovative approaches in drama, dance and music departments, and outlines the work of the PACE project in supporting and promoting new initiatives in this area.

Drawing on an analysis of critics reviews of Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) performances, we investigate how broader shifts in institutional logics shape the discourse of critics and their judgment of performances. We highlight how the aesthetic logic that traditionally informs the practices of the symphony yielded, in the face of declining orchestral resources, to a more commercially oriented market logic. As institutionalists have argued, shifts in logics are often catalysed by exogenous shocks.

Marketing, as it relates to the arts, is not about intimidation or coercion or abandoning an artistic vision. It is not hard-selling or deceptive advertising. It is a sound, effective technology for creating exchanges and influencing behaviour that, when properly applied, must be beneficial to both parties involved in the exchange (Kotler and Scheff, 1997). The focus of this paper is on how owners / managers of small and medium sized Independent businesses in the music industry (cultural entrepreneurs) create exchange and influence behaviour when accessing finance for their businesses. The paper is based on Leadbeater and Oakleys (1999) description of a new model of work and creative production, derived from cultural entrepreneurs characteristic independence.

We define cultural entrepreneurship as the process of storytelling that mediates between extant stocks of entrepreneurial resources and subsequent capital acquisition and wealth creation. We propose a framework that focuses on how entrepreneurial stories facilitate the crafting of a new venture identity that serves as a touchstone upon which legitimacy may be conferred by investors, competitors, and consumers, opening up access to new capital and market opportunities. Stories help create competitive advantage for entrepreneurs through focal content shaped by two key forms of entrepreneurial capital: firm-specific resource capital and industry-level institutional capital.

The current boom in Asia is not only economic but also cultural. The Asian region as a whole and individual states, in particular China and Vietnam, have developed into a region of increased priority in the field of cultural co-operation. Cultural co-operation, however, has always been tied to other strategic goals. The growing interest in the Asian region is above all also political, historical, diplomatic and last but not least economic.

This paper, which is released by Canadian Cultural Observatory, points out 5 myths about the cultural policy in USA, that includes:

1: The absence of a cultural ministry indicates that the United States does not value culture and does not take it seriously.
2: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is the de facto Ministry of Culture.
3: The United States does not have national cultural policies
4: Private and foundation investments in arts and culture are the prime source of income for the arts and cultural sector and provide more than a sufficient source of support.
5: Exported cultural products represent American cultural values and international cultural policy priorities.

In Beijing it is the Beijing Music Festival, in Shanghai the Arts Festival both these events take place in October-November of every year and boast the participation of some notable foreign music groups.

The subject of this article, however, will be the Shanghai Performing Arts Fair, which preceeds the Festival, and is similar in set-up to the fairs held in Tokyo, Seoul and elsewhere, where artists, agents and producers have the opportunity to showcase their newest and best acts to potential, in this case, mostly Chinese, presentors.

Like many major government decisions in Singapore, the city-states national cultural policy is informed by economic rationale. To be sure, Singapore did not have a cohesive or coherent national cultural policy before the late 1980s. Prior to this, during the early years of independence, the arts and cultural industry ranked low on the list of national concerns that included high unemployment, severe housing shortage and economic survival.

Intercultural organisations in the arts first occurred in the Netherlands in the mid-1980s. They were able to establish an intercultural practice and formulate the first features of what interculturality could mean. They took profit from the discourse on integration that was at stake in the Netherlands: integration by preservation of ones own cultural background. This discourse changed during the nineties and provoked a growing debate on how the Netherlands is coping with its minorities. Two discourses became apparent.

Publicity, advertising and marketing in cultural institutions are fields that have rarely been studied in French-speaking Switzerland.
