Managing collaboration in co-production: the Serangoon Road case
Conference Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the distinctive nature of the film and television industry that has accounted for the growing phenomenon of international co-productions in recent years. While there has been a growing body of research in the area of alliances and learning, there is little attention given to the dynamics of alliance relationships that take into consideration co-production agreements as strategic forms of co-creation in a highly complex industry such as film and television. This paper adopts a single-case study design through data extracted from interviews with various stakeholders involved in a recent international co-production project (between Singaporean and Australian firms) known as Serangoon Road and combines these insights with literature analysis and web site analysis. Following discussion of the distinctive characteristics of co-production in the firm and television industry, we examine some of the challenges and implications of international co-production for the film industry. Preliminary findings indicate that co-production agreement results in strategic forms of co-creation whenever various stakeholders have an active role in shaping their experiences and ultimately value co-creation in the final product ranging from co-conception, co-design, co-promotion and co-distribution.
