Pratt (urban cultural economy, London School of Economics, UK) and Jeffcutt (management knowledge, Queen's U., UK) present 12 case studies quantitatively and qualitatively examining relationships between and practices of creativity and innovation in the cultural and creative industries. A dozen paired chapters look at advertising in the UK, the music industry in Scotland, the British film industry, web designers in Canada and the Netherlands, the design industry in Canada and Sweden, and the "pure arts" sector in the forms of British theater and German art museums and galleries. The core questions of the multidisciplinary studies concern the similarities and differences between the cultural and creative industries and the ontologies of creativity and innovation.
