Using Business to Create a More Vibrant Craft Sector

Chapter Chapter Nine in Alleviating Poverty through Business Strategy, 2008, pp 171-190 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Every society develops products to deal with the mundane aspects of life: preparing food, creating a living space, adorning the body, and so on. Some of these products are primarily utilitarian while others carry strong aesthetic components. As museum catalogs generally argue, however, both utilitarian and artistic items are informed by the cultures in which they were developed. From this creative process, then, has come an array of culturally informed craftsmen who use their specialized skills to generate relatively high incomes serving their local communities.
