It has become a focal point in management researches for their weight in the economy as well as for their laboratory nature of creativity and innovation practices. Nonetheless, it is not clear whether the present attention towards the CCIs emerg...

Due to the novelty of their technology base and the multiple goals pursued by their entrepreneurial teams, academic spin-offs (ASOs) suffer information asymmetries with investors that impair their ability to raise finance. In line with the signaling theory, we expect that observable features of an ASO can mitigate such information asymmetries, espe...

The cultural and creative industries (CCIs) were among the first to be disrupted by the digital revolution. General lessons can thus be learned from the strategies they adopted in the digital age. Alongside a reversal model and a differentiation policy, CCI companies now face a new alternative between two main strategies, which cannot easily be cla...

Geographical and social proximities played a key role in characterizing traditional clusters and industrial districts. An innovative cluster is characterized by weak ties that enable long-distance travel and go far beyond geographical proximity: more actors can be reached and embedded in more effective clustering dynamics. This chapter describes th...

Research spin-offs best exemplify innovative spin-off companies as they are one of the main tools for the exploitation of university research results. Research spin-offs deal on the market with a business purpose, but, at the same time, they represent the commercialization of scientific knowledge developed in universities/research centers. This cha...

Traditional editorial houses are now confronted with the emergence of the online diffusion of e-books.

Cultural and creative industries (CCIs) are usually associated to “creativity” while high-tech industries are usually linked to “innovation”. This distinction determines a sort of forgetfulness of the fact that also CCIs rely always on various series of updated technologies. As a consequence, the issue of innovation in CCIs is seldom dealt with. No...
