Abstract
Abstract The management of intellectual property has become a core competence of successful enterprises. This is particularly true for firms in the entertainment and creative industries, where battles are waged for the rights to new ideas. Our focus and purpose in this chapter is to show that the US motion picture industry has the potential to provide a fruitful research field for management accounting researchers. The industry has high economic importance and is appealing to researchers because it offers rich data sets that cover the entire product lifecycle for new products and a number of challenging problems especially related to the management of talent and intellectual property. Academic research in this area, particularly in accounting, is in its infancy. In this chapter, therefore, we discuss critical management accounting and control issues faced by the motion picture industry, review cross-disciplinary literature on those issues and outline promising research directions.
