“…Phenomenology is a critical reflection upon conscious experience, rather than subconscious motivation, and is designed to uncover the essential invariant features of that experience (Jopling 1996). It has also been heralded as a critique of the positivist position which views social reality as a system without any respect for the grassroots of everyday interests (Srubar 1998).

Rave; Dance Culture; Consumer Behaviour; Postmodernism; Identity; Popular Culture; ; Neo-tribesPopular music is one of the most ubiquitous forms of contemporary culture. This paper looks at the phenomenon known as rave or dance culture in Britain. It examines the nature of the consumer experience at a dance club through the use of a two stage methodology. Based on observations and the collection of phenomenological data, the findings suggest that the experience is linked to a series of behaviours, which are related to fragmentation and identity. These include narcissistic identity, the emergence of new communities, the need for escape, engagement and prolonged hedonism. The paper examines these concepts in relation to postmodern consumption. In particular, an evaluation of postmodern theory and its focus on fragmentation and the project of the self is offered, by arguing for a return to "community"

Interest in business management thinking and innovation has continued to growduring recent decades. The Scottish Government identifies that a large proportionof new and start up businesses fail within the first 2 years. Consequently, there aremany areas for the start-up entrepreneur to get information and help, nonethelessthe trend remains. This study offers an alternative method for deciding on intrinsicsuccess factors by outlining the relationship between business start-ups, creativity,and innovation.The focus was on creativity, as an entrepreneurial characteristic, links or effects thestart-up capability of the entrepreneur. The study used a qualitative method tointerpret this complexity and this became more apparent as the study progressessince innovation and innovation which supports a business start-up assume holistic,flux-like and complex concepts.

Findingsfrom the study indicate that business management thinking and innovationunderpinned by perspective themes, help the entrepreneur see and appreciate thecomplex multi-faceted interactions of innovation, perhaps better than an averageperson. However, actual definition of the precise mechanisms needed to supportbusiness start-ups drawn from creativity were difficult to establish.In conclusion, the study has to say that while elements of creativity were presentwith each of the entrepreneur and were clearly significant to the success of the startup, it would seem very difficult to actually identify if there is such a thing as aguaranteed creativity template for success.
