“…During the Soviet era, the art trade in Russia was officially forbidden. Since art in played an important role in the Soviet society as an ideological, educational and recreational tool, the distribution of it was controlled by state organizations (Lazarev 1979;Toepler 2000;Yankovskaya and Mitchell 2006). Artistic production was also censored by the government (cf.…”

In particular, it explains how potential entrepreneurs are motivated to become active in establishing new markets. Empirically, the focus is on contemporary art markets in two emerging countries: India and Russia. The paper draws upon qualitative interviews with 65 contemporary art dealers conducted in New Delhi, Mumbai, Moscow and Saint Petersburg. We show how different socio-cultural contexts function as activation mechanisms: in India, family backgrounds predominantly structure the decision-making processes, among others through the economic, social and cultural capital which these families provide. In Russia, by contrast, such family background is non-existent. Instead, the socio-economic turmoil of 1990s and 2000s as well as the strong involvement of the state function as activation mechanisms. We suggest that these different activation mechanisms contribute to explaining the diverging market performance in both countries.

“…Prior studies regarding the cultural sector in Eastern Europe underline how market pressures pave the way for increased commodification and commercialization of cultural products, marking a strong difference with the pre-1989 system, which was rich in supply, heavily state subsidized, and largely decommodified (Toepler 2000;Ilczuk and Wieczorek 2000;Murzyn-Kupisz 2008). While commercialization is a common aspect across our three case studies, we believe that its implications are more nuanced than usually observed.…”

The paper focuses on the effect of business model and governance changes on conservation and access outcomes in three heritage sites in Poland: Ksiaz Castle, the Shrine of Our Lady of Grace Abbey and the Jelenia Gora Valley historic palaces. It argues that the interplay between business model and governance led by relevant political, administrative and economic changes has an impact on which historic buildings are conserved for future generations, in what form, and with which functions.Findings from the case studies allow us to design three ideal business models for the management of heritage sites. The paper also explores implications for management research regarding business model and public sector change.
