The limits of flexibility: the case of UK television

Article Abstract:

It can be argued that there are few links between the model of flexible specialization and developments in the UK television industry, even though it is widely believed that vertically disintegrated, flexibly specialized types of organization are the best approach to dealing with growing competition and product diversity in this industry. Indeed, broadcasting companies may have responded to changing market conditions by rebuilding traditional vertically integrated structures of production and service provision. The flexible specialization argument exaggerates the advantages of small company organization.

A really big show - that's entertainment

Article Abstract:

Several developments have been noted in the movie and home entertainment industries, most of which spur their continued growth. These developments include the acquisitions and/or mergers that many major entertainment companies have undergone, as well as the increasing practice of selling stocks to the public. Meanwhile, theatrical movies still pull in strong for the entertainment industry, although long-term growth is seen to be a likely effect of the development of new ways of delivering films, television shows and music to consumers.
