| Summary |
"In this newly revised book, Harold L. Vogel examines the business economics of the major entertainment enterprises : movies, music, television programming broadcasting, cable, casino, gambling and wagering, publishing, performing arts, sports, theme parks, and toys and games. The sixth edition differs from its predecessors by the inclusion of a new section pertaining to recent theoretical work on box office behavior, expanded coverage of deal elements in the music industry, and additions to the sports economics chapter. The result is an up-to-date reference guide on the economics, financing, production, and marketing of entertainment in the United States and overseas. Investors, business executives, accountants, lawyers, arts administrators, and general readers will find that the book offers an invaluable guide to how entertainment industries operate."--BOOK JACKET |
