Hollywood for the 21st century: global competition for critical mass in image markets
批判了用灵活专业化解释好莱坞发展的观点,提出应从全球化和企业整合角度理解电影与媒体产业的转型,适合关注媒体产业结构和全球竞争的学者。
This article undertakes a critique of the arguments put forward by Michael Storper and Susan Christopherson which suggest that the development of Hollywood's motion picture industry can be understood in terms of the flexible specialization perspective. It puts forward an alternative perspective that views transformations in the film and media industries in terms, rather, of increasing globalism and corporate integration. This alternative approach is rooted in the particular properties of the media industries and media product. Copyright 1992 by Oxford University Press.
