“…In the preparation and distribution of e-books, most publishers are compelled to interact mainly with companies in the technology sector-with hardly any links to the world of publishing-to address the problems and challenges arising from technological and sociocultural changes in which they are immersed [69][70][71].…”

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the impacts of technological change in the Spanish publishing industry and see how it is adapting to the new digital environment. This work provides a deep insight into the Spanish publishing industry through the collection of available data, mainly from secondary sources of information, both public and private, and from a review of a great number of documents from different sources, grouping all the data obtained to generate a time series, allowing to glimpse the state and evolution of digitization in the Spanish publishing industry along these almost 20 years. This chapter refers to the new business models emerging from digitalization, ending with some conclusions, recommendations, and future lines of research. This chapter is not just trying to be a journey through the past, present, and future of the book industry in Spain, but it pretends being the first step to continue investigating these and other aspects in a deeper way.

Like other creative industries, the book industry is undergoing a technological change, going from analog to digital formats. This change challenges existing business models and encourages companies to reexamine their product and competency portfolios. Through a qualitative case study of three Spanish publishers, this paper investigates how digitization affects business models in the publishing industry. The functionality and user experience of digital products are still deficient: prices are still high, and the proportion of Spanish digital titles is still low. To all this is added the lack of a common dominant design for digital publishing, which on the whole, represents a substantial uncertainty for publishers, who are advancing, step by step, towards the digital age and whose exploration of new market opportunities and alternative business models remain anchored in the traditional ones. Finally, the document also analyzes how current institutions contribute to preserving the publication regime on paper.Resumen: Al igual que otras industrias creativas, la industria del libro está experimentando un cambio tecnológico, pasando de formatos analógicos a digitales. Este cambio desafía los modelos de negocio existentes e impulsa a las empresas a reexaminar sus carteras de productos y competencias. A través de un estudio de casos cualitativo de tres editoriales españolas, este trabajo investiga cómo la digitalización afecta a los modelos de negocio en la industria editorial. La funcionalidad y la experiencia del usuario de productos digitales aún son deficientes: los precios siguen siendo altos y la proporción de títulos digitales españoles es aún reducida. A todo esto, se añade la falta de un diseño dominante común para la publicación digital, lo que, en conjunto, representa una incertidumbre sustancial para los editores, que avanzan, paso a paso, hacia la era digital y cuya exploración de nuevas oportunidades de mercado y modelos de negocio alternativos sigue anclada en los tradicionales. Finalmente, el documento también analiza cómo las instituciones actuales contribuyen a preservar el régimen de publicación en papel.

“…Entrepreneurial firms in general, and KIE firms specifically, have been primarily studied in manufacturing industries and/or related to academic entrepreneurship (Malerba et al, ; McKelvey & Lassen, ), with a few exceptions (e.g. Protogerou, Kontolaimou, & Caloghirou, ). Conceptually, KIE firms face similar challenges as other entrepreneurial ventures but, as compared to non‐KIE firms, they differ in the greater extent to which they use knowledge and innovation to compete.…”

“…Another influential stream stresses and analyzes how the individual entrepreneur acts within a broader social and economic context: “Entrepreneurship refers primarily to an economic function ... to perceive and create new opportunities and to introduce their ideas into the market under uncertainty, by making decisions … The entrepreneurial activity and the entrepreneurial ventures are influenced by the socioeconomic environment and result ultimately in economic growth and human welfare” (Carlsson et al, , p. 914). This paper contributes to this latter stream, and specifically to the emerging literature on knowledge‐intensive entrepreneurship (KIE) (see Gifford, Ljungberg, & McKelvey, ; Malerba, Caloghirou, McKelvey, & Radosevic, ; Malerba & McKelvey, ; McKelvey & Lassen, ; Protogerou, Caloghirou, & Vonortas, ; Protogerou, Kontolaimou, & Caloghirou, ; Radosevic & Yoruk, ). This emerging literature analyzes creation processes of involving founders, teams and firms in relation to knowledge, innovation and opportunities accessed through the innovation system (Malerba & McKelvey, ; Malerba & McKelvey, ).…”

Knowledge‐intensive entrepreneurship in manufacturing and creative industries: Same, same, but different

2018

To date, there is little empirical evidence on the specificities and commonalities of entrepreneurship in the creative industries relative to other sectors. This paper explores this issue by comparing knowledge‐intensive entrepreneurship (KIE) in the manufacturing and creative industries by examining their differences and similarities. Given the lack of prior studies, our comparison is exploratory and based on descriptive statistics. We use survey data that comes from a large‐scale Eurupean Union research project (AEGIS) which studied KIE firms across 10 countries and a diverse set of industries. Our analysis shows that KIE firms in creative industries resemble those in manufacturing in several dimensions, but also that there are some pronounced differences, such as (i) a higher level of knowledge intensity of KIE firms in creative industries, with higher educational attainment of both founders and employees; (ii) that personal financing plays a much larger role in creative industries; (iii) KIE in creative industries focuses more on service innovations, but introduces radical innovations to a lesser extent; and (iv) they remain smaller in terms of number of employees and turnover, but are more profitable than KIE in manufacturing relative to their size. We end the paper by pointing out directions for future research, based on our exploratory results.
