This is the first publication in Bulgarian of its kind, presenting a thorough theoretical and empirical analysis of innovation in the cultural sector. The book touches in depth on the economic, social and policy dimensions of innovation projects initiated or implemented by arts and cultural managers, creative industry companies, social entrepreneurs, media companies, arts associations and more. It is designed to merge theoretical input with practice-based examples from Bulgaria, Europe and the world including fresh insights from an empirical survey on the impact assessment of innovation carried out in 2012.
Three experts have kindly offered a dedicated contribution that adds to the diversity of viewpoints to the topics presented. The experts are Lidia Varbanova – the renown cultural management expert, teaching in Canada whose book 'Strategic Management in the Arts’ just came out in English by Routledge 2013; Tzveta Andreeva – a young cultural policy and creative industries expert currently member of staff at the European Cultural Foundation in Amsterdam and Bilyana Tomova – the key Bulgarian expert working on cultural economics engaged in both training arts/creative industry producers as well as in the larger economic studies carried out in Bulgaria.
The book is produced in a colour design on a paper pleasant to read from and touch. It has a strong cover and includes tables, illustrations and graphs as well as a rich bibliography. It can be now ordered in hard copy in Bulgarian at the cost of 13 EUR (exclusive shipment costs). There are discounts foreseen for groups, for students and young researchers.
