Abstract

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The principal aim of this project was to examine the impact on the competitiveness of the UK media industries of three related developments: (1) changes in economic organisation which have seen greater use of contracting, outsourcing and vertical disintegration; (2) shifts in the regulatory framework for broadcasting and the role of markets and competition in the delivery of the broadcast media; and (3) rapid technological change and increasing global competition in the media industries.
Main Topics:

This dataset is the outcome of a postal survey sent to members of the trade association PACT (Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television). The survey covered questions on general characteristics of their business, owners and management; the key characteristics of their business in terms of its suppliers, customers and competitive situation; the commissioning method and cost structure of their business; collaborations which affect the competitive situation, and their recent experience of seeking finance and takeovers.
