Abstract
This book is not meant to be a report on the state of the art of the audiovisual industry, nor a survey of best practices and key players operating in the market, but a theoretical picture analysing the main economic and financial features of the audiovisual industry. The first section — Chapters 2 and 3 — describes the perimeter and the main features of the audiovisual industry; Chapters 4, 5 and 6 analyse the economics of the industry — mainly costs and revenues, pricing models and value of audiovisual firms; Chapters 7 and 8 explores audiovisual funding and the related risks; a financial platform for the audiovisual industry is proposed in Chapter 9, together with conclusions. In this perspective, the book represents a useful guide for professionals and producers, as well as for bankers, financial managers and academics.
