This paper explored the creation mechanism of cultural business by conducting the multi-case studies. We suggest that, in order to utilize, circulate and create dynamic resources, it's essential for social entrepreneurs, citizens, local governments and private companies, who are embedded in each institutional specific logic, to exploit others' interests as own resources and to engage in the form of collective action. We also raise an important issue concerning the relationship between social entrepreneurs and organizations, which inevitably transforms in the case of cultural businesses as building-up process requires much longer time than other industry.
