This edition incorporates a full chapter on the Internet, covering the web's operational features, revenue sources, and the net's role as an agent of change. Other expanded features include sections on industrial structure, asset valuation methods, and comparative price trends. The result is a comprehensive, up-to-date reference guide on the economics, financing, production, and marketing of entertainment in the US 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.
