Abstract

This study considers creative individuals who work for creative companies, particularly those occupied in film-making organisations. It tries to understand the issue of managing creative individuals from the perspective of both managers and employees. This study is based on interviews conducted in a Danish film company, and investigates various creative individuals from this field. It highlights the shift from the more traditional approach to career development to a more contemporary approach that involves boundary-less careers. The paper concludes that creative individuals working for film-making companies are best managed when they have elements of both freedom and control from the manager's side. In that way, creative individuals release their creativity to their full potential. Additionally, the work-life balance is emphasised and perceived as a factor having significance when managing creative individuals.
