Abstract
The profile of the creative and cultural (C&C) sector has risen worldwide over the last twenty years for a combination of economic and social reasons. Economic gurus have argued that the industries that comprise the sector are paradigmatic examples of the type of knowledge-based industries that will constitute the basis of nation states’ prosperity in the twenty-first century (Porter & Ketels, 2003). Socially, the sector symbolizes the transactional freedom to work creatively, unencumbered by bureaucratic work regimes that many people claim they are looking for (Hesmondhalgh & Baker, 2011), as well as an opportunity to design products and services that reflect the forms of cultural diversity which are an increasing feature of advanced industrial economies (Bilton, 2007).
