MAXIMIZE PROFITS... NEVER SAY NO... FOCUS ON YOUR CORE PRODUCT... There are plenty of myths and empty phrases commonplace in the business world.

Anyone who is thinking about starting up or investing in a small business can learn something from this book, but the case studies are from the cultural and creative industries. It shows how you can run a business, get the financials right, and be creative all at the same time. The book is a result of extensive research funded by the Nordic Innovation Centre. The authors are Tobias Niels n, CEO and senior analyst Volante QNB Research, Dominic Power, Professor Uppsala University, and Margr t Sigr n Sigur ard ttir, Ph.D. Iceland University.
