Australian Creative Industries SMEs - Pathways to Success.pdf

Presenting a review of research on creative industry firms, this paper highlights the role that the Creative Industries Innovation Centre can have in collecting valuable data and insights on the challenges and opportunities of Australian creative industries firms. Australian research information is drawn upon where possible, but it is noted that existing research mostly comes from the UK. The report considers a possible model for the growth of creative firms, yet acknowledges that this is problematic considering the extraordinary diversity of this sector

New public management and employee share ownership plan in Fiji’s public sector

This article provides insights into the implementation of new public management (NPM) practices in Fiji Telecom and whether the use of the employee share ownership scheme was helpful in the organisational change process. The NPM practices were influenced by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund who were the lenders to Fiji government. The adoption of NPM practices was part of a political, economic and public sector reforms introduced after 1989. The paper discusses the background and obstacles of the reform and how the employee share ownership scheme practice at a privatised Telecom Company assists employees to assimilate commercial business norms. The authors finally make recommendations for policy-makers in Fiji and other developing nations

Creative industries

Creative industries are nowadays central in many policies to stimulate the economic development of cities, regions and advanced capitalist economies in general. This paper contributes to the� creative industries literature in two respects. First, we empirically explore if high shares of creative industries in regions go together with one particular aspect of regional economic development, namely firm entry rates. Drawing on Dutch trade register data over a six-year period, it is concluded that at the level of municipalities there is indeed a connection between the share of creative industries and firm entry, even after controlling for the sizes of municipalities, and no matter if creative industries are defined broadly or narrowly. Second, the paper analyses if firms in creative industries are heterogeneous in terms of business processes and their contribution to regional firm entry. Drawing on previous work four creative domains are identified: arts, media and entertainment, creative business services and, at the periphery, knowledge intensive business services. After analysing survey data of 4,746 Dutch SMEs, we find that firms across these domains are distinct in their use of the surveyed business practices: innovation, strategy and marketing, and human resources practices. Especially knowledge intensive services firms are deviant. For the connection with firm entry rates, it appears that high shares of firms in the arts and knowledge intensive business services are significantly connected with regional firm entry rates, while media and entertainment and creative business services remain insignificant. Implications for practitioners and future research are discussed. �

Endslate 2013: Queensland University of Technology, Film Screen and Animation

From the 2013 program " To make a fi lm is to be part of a team with each member of the team making a valuable distinct. personal contribution to the project. Throughout the three years of this degree the students have refined their creative skills. acguired knowledge and most importantly they have grown in character. Enthusiasm commitment and a respect for one another are just some of the qualities that they have had to draw upon to bring these projects to life. They are filmmakers who are driven to become masters of the craft of storytelling - stories that transport audiences on emotional journeys of entertainment. discovery and insight. And having come to the end of this course they now embark on a new journey one that will reguire persistence and application if they are to succeed - but this is the journey that will define them as filmmakers. If I may share a parting thought with you all. it is held in the notion that truly creative work is informed by the unigue the distinctly individual understanding we each have of the world. And I offer three guotes that might illuminate this notion: The first from Stanislavsky - The person you are is a thousand times more interesting than the person you might ever hope to be. And these from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - If you would create something. you must be something. And- Until one is committed there is always hesitancy. The chance to draw back Always ineffectiveness . Whatever you can do or dream you can. begin it: Boldness has genius. power and magic in it. On behalf of all the staff in the discipline I wish all students great success in all that they do.

Endslate 2019 QUT Film, Screen & Animation Students

From the 2019 program: Questions. As creatives, we are constantly asking and uncovering questions to find worthwhile stories to tell. Especially when it comes to documentary filmmaking, many questions are required of us to ensure we are interrogating stories that are important for us to tell the world. When we find one of these stories, it’s like the clock has turned itself back and we are inquisitive little four-year-olds, asking hundreds of questions to satisfy our curiosity on the subject. However, it takes a lot of work, dedication and support to be afforded the luxury of slipping into this filmmaking mindset. We need people around us that allow these story gems to be explored and developed – people who allow a space to freely shout ideas, no matter how crazy, until you uncover the perfect subject or way to deliver your idea. Bringing people’s lives, truths and experiences to the screen is always a hard undertaking – are you doing the right thing telling their tale? Are you being accurate to their truth and story? Are you telling the world all they need to know? All these questions are running through our heads from the conception of the idea till the screening of the documentary. It is only through the support from all those around us that we are able to get through all these stages and present everyone with a film. Thank you to all the families that have supported us, without your belief and willingness to let us throw ourselves into the ever-changing creative industries, we would not be where we are today. Thank you to all our teaching staff who have, over the last three years, nurtured our growth into the creatives we are today. Thank you to the friends and film families we have made throughout our time at QUT. We cried, struggled, laughed, celebrated, fought for ideas together and we never stopped supporting one another. This is the start of our exciting careers, so please keep believing in yourselves and each other and again, thank you to everyone who helped make these films what they are. The 2019 Documentary Slate Students Every single one of us who decided to begin a career in film are dreamers. For that we cannot thank you enough for encouraging and supporting our dreams. Many of you – staff, friends and family – know the blood, sweat and tears we have shed to make tonight possible. It’s through all your love and support that we have been able to make these stories come to life on the silver screen. With your help we have been able to discuss the challenges of parenthood, document the lives of Incels, crash golf carts, ruin a funeral, show emotion on stage, plan a trip to a very windy mountain top, debate which twin is which, steal a ghost and avoid piano practice. It’s all there on the screen; the hard work of those striving to understand the story and character, to capture clean sound and fantastic lighting, to get that amazing shot, to make well timed edits and craft wonderful sets and costumes. The struggle of spending hours wrangling footage, keeping to schedule and feeding an entire crew. We even battled to get the performances we needed and to complete the mountains of paperwork. Without the advice, support and lessons of the staff we would not have achieved the level of quality on display tonight. Without the loving support of family and friends we would not have come this far. So once again, thank you for believing in us. Thank you for helping us begin an exciting career in film. Still dreaming, The 2019 Drama Slate Students Animation is hard to explain, man. No one can understand weight-painting, AOVs or edge flow over a family gathering. But when the film is done, the work speaks for itself. We can create whatever we want, and to have such freedom at our fingertips is the sole reason we stick through the hours lost when Maya crashes. But we never would have made it this far without the people we’ve had the pleasure to work with, and I’d like to thank them all personally on behalf of the third year animation cohort this year. To Sorin, thank you for being our creative mentor, guiding these films through visuals and story, and for organising so many inspiring guest speakers to visit us. To Bree, thank you for managing our team and enforcing our deadlines (even when we kept having to push them back). Thank you Rangi, for joining us this semester and opening our eyes to the marvels of pipeline management, Python scripting and stories from the industry. To Paul, thank you for working behind the scenes and taking on our subject feedback, teaching us so well last year... and for giving us lollies. Thank you Chris, for getting us into rendering, visual effects and being another person we could run to for advice. To Charles, thanks for talking with us even though we were in the room during your own classes this year, and for teaching us the values of pre-production. There’s also much to be said of the immense talent of the student body but I’ll keep it brief. Our two directors, Grant and Georgia, have been working sleepless nights in the labs along with our production manager Joyce, technical director Mike and sound designer Sanha. The entire team has triumphed thanks solely to the effort that has been placed into these productions and I’m very proud of what has been achieved. See you all again in the real world.
