Cambridge Centre for Business Research Media Dataset, 1992-1995
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. 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.
