The Creative Industries track at ISBE Glasgow once again offered tremendous insights into how creative mindsets help to develop entrepreneurial outcomes. Papers ranged from discussions on data gained from the impact of creativity in team development, specific insights into the music industry and the international challenges they face, game changing business models and working environments conducive to creative industry development.
Our best paper looked at stimulating ideas and the keys to developing novel ideas, a theme that we felt to be central to the entire ISBE conference. A strong theme emerged from a paper that discussed ‘money being a dirty word’, indeed, this and a closing debate at the end of the session highlighted consensus that creative industries entrepreneurs are primarily motivated by their desire to remain creative, and that financial gain is a secondary consideration.
