Abstract
The flexible specialization approach to the structure and dynamics of the film industry has arguably become the dominant framework of analysis. In identifying a succession of waves of small production company formation and demise throughout the history of the British film industry, this article challenges that mode of analysis. This article proposes an alternative method of analysing the relationship between large and small firms in the industry.Keywords
