Women, entrepreneurship and creative cultural industries: a combination on the rise in Spain in times of crisis
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: Creative cultural industries are businesses on the rise with a potential that has yet to be determined. They are not generally acknowledged by the State as economic pursuits, however. The notion that culture is a not-for-profit endeavour is firmly rooted in Spanish society, a circumstance that has led to the invisibility of the industry as a business opportunity. That lack of credibility as an economic proposition is reinforced by the industry’s organisation and management, its dependence on subsidies and its focus more on propagation than industrialisation. It consequently lacks both strategic business and sex equality policies. Keywords: Women, entrepreneurship, culture, creative cultural industries, SMEs, cultural development.
