Creativity and organization in the fashion industry.

Ideas

Empires, federations, and kingdoms. With Barkey, found among fashion business groups that federated arrangements, hybrids of empires and kingdoms, performed best in a creative setting. Caveat: A quantitative study of many firms in one creative industry, with one outcome, creative performance. Read in its abstract only.

Conglomerates and creativity. With Rawley and Shipilov, found that a fashion subsidiary's creativity depends on the conglomerate it joins and rises with its sister subsidiaries' creativity. Caveat: A quantitative study of many firms in one industry, high-end fashion. Only summaries of it were read.

In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
