Creative Co-production: The Adaption of an Open Innovation Model in Creative Industries

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Information Systems and Management in Media and Entertainment Industries

Abstract

Advanced information systems enable digital media and creative industries to use collaborative networks to boost creative co-production not only across organizational boundaries, but also across geographies. The initial success of crowdsourcing and other open-innovation strategies encourages these industries to consider creative co-production as a viable option for future development. This chapter suggests a general theoretical framework for the implementation of co-production in creative industries based on three components: co-creation environment, network coordination, and experiential communication. The proposed framework is sufficiently general yet grounded in the phenomenon to guide future research and development.
