SPECIFICITIES OF CCIs Labour market
• Labour market of the CCIs is complex
• Thrives on numerous small initiatives
• Careerwise a high degree of uncertainty
• Non-conventional forms of employment; part-time work, temporary contracts, self-employment , free-lancers
• Multiple job-holdings; combined other sources of income
• New type of employer; the ‘entrepreneurial individual’ or ‘entrepreneurial cultural worker’
• No longer fits into previously typical patterns of full-time professions
• Heterogeneity of human resources categories; higher professional training, vernacular backgrounds, craft industry, any other category

DIFFERENCES PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
• Creative inputs and products are abundant
• Hypercompetitive environment
• Knowledge-based and labour-intensive input
• Not ‘simply merchandise’, but express cultural uniqueness and identities
• Experience goods; production and consumption ‘on the spot’
• Product life-cycles are short

DIFFERENCES IN PRODUCTION
• Routinisation and replacing human skills
with capital goods impossible or inefficient
• Outsourcing hardly possible
• An abundant supply of established practitioners
and new entrants, supplemented by the presence of semi-professionals and amateurs
• Products developed without a common understanding of quality criteria
• Unique instruments and procedures regarding quality control (exhibitions, prices, rewards, competitions, peer-reviews)
