Determining how to evaluate the art licensing model is a complex multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. This study explores the critical factors influencing art licensing in the art and creative industry because this industry has potential contributions to a high value-added cultural economy in Taiwan. Due to the high cultural value of the National Palace Museum and the uniqueness of its cultural relics, this study takes it as an empirical case. The decision hierarchy is constructed based on a literature review and expert interviews. Furthermore, we used the fuzzy integral to calculate the weights and overall performance of the three licensing models. The empirical results illustrate that both brand licensing and image licensing groups emphasized the aspect of market environment as the primary consideration for licensing model selection. In particular, respondents considered that the adoption of a brand licensing model could facilitate the achievement of better overall performance value. The reason is that brand licensing made the company’s brand visible by imprinting the brand names of both the National Palace Museum and the company on products. This study can be used as reference model for the evaluation of art licensing by enterprises in the future.

Some of the constructs in the field of performance management are intuitive or not empirically validated. This study provides a data-driven framework for measuring and improving the performance through synchronized strategies. The ultimate goal was to provide support for increasing business performance. Empirical research materializes in an exploratory case study and a statistical analysis with econometric models. The case study revealed that a company can improve its performance, even in periods of growth, being characterized by consistent investments. The statistical analysis, performed on a restricted sample of companies, confirmed the results that were provided by the case study. The measurement of performance was made by capitalizing on financial and non-financial data precisely to intensify the interest for corporate sustainability. The obtained results, contrary to previous research that showed that economic value added (EVA) is negatively influenced by the increase in invested capital, open up new research perspectives to find out whether, at the industry level, performance appraisal that is based on EVA stimulates the development of a business’s economic capital. The research has a double utility: scientific (by providing an overview of the state of the art in the field of performance management) and practical (by providing a reference model for measuring and monitoring performance).

This paper proposes a proactive model to improve the overall performance of construction processes. The main advantage is that potential waste and associate impacts could be identified in the early stages of a project before the construction phase. To accomplish that, the model combines three methods; Lean-to identify waste, Green to assess environmental impact, and Six-Sigma to measure and improve process performance (LG6). The LG6 model helps in evaluating processes one step at a time, identifying consumed resources, analyzing the environmental performance of all steps as well as highlighting generated impacts, applying improving alternatives if needed, and measuring process performance for evaluation. The functionality of LG6 is illustrated through a case study of woodpiles installation. In this case study, the LG6 model identified four steps out of eight that are considered potential waste or (non-value-added steps) according to the Lean principles. As a result, the LG6 model helped in reducing impact by 9% and expenses by 1%. The LG6 model can help to improve the performance of construction processes and reduces unnecessary waste.

Marketers generally agree that consumers make brand choices based upon intangible benefits such as status, belonging, or sex appeal, rather than product attributes alone, such as ingredients. Intangible benefits are delivered to consumers through communications or brand semiotics, which include the brand’s cultural positioning, service and packaging design, media content, and technological innovations. The semiotic dimensions of brands are not just the icing on the cake, or a “value added” to the brand’s functional benefits; they form the foundation and sine qua non of brand equity. The brand equity equation banks on the strength of brand meanings to build and differentiate the brand in an increasingly cluttered market, prompting consumers to choose one brand over the other. This opening chapter introduces readers to the semiotic dimensions of brands and methods used by semioticians to leverage competitive difference in a given market. In order to understand the basic semiotic methods presented here, analysis is limited to advertising campaigns rather than design or consumer research. Marcel Danesi contributes an essay on the importance of brand names for value creation.

In this final chapter, the authors summarize the results on the empirical analyses of attitudes, beliefs, metaphors, and preferences. They find evidence to support the contention that cultural value orientations do indeed distinguish labor market responses and the structure of those labor markets. They also note how this stability shows signs of erosion, with millennials often sharing values that transcend country boundaries. The trends in all six nations of an increasing preference for general education among younger generations has the potential of dramatically changing the skill sets of job seekers in an increasingly complex global labor market. The perils of this loss of value-added production skills are explored, as are the risks associated with the neglect of national culture as an economic organizing principle.

The paper focuses on contemporary creative cultural economy concepts and presents formation background and confrontational points of view discussed by variety of authors. The scope of the creative economy is determined by creative industries exponent. If culture is perceptible in the anthropological or functional sense, one might use the concept of the cultural product. An alternative definition of creative products and services originates from a created value type: one might say these products and services, no matter what commercial value they would obtain, together hold a cultural value which financially cannot be evaluated to the final point. It means different types of cultural activities and products or services produced are evaluated both by producers and consumers due to social and cultural reasons which add or exceed purely economic evaluation. For example, aesthetical value or community identity is hardly measured and interspersed into traditional evaluation characteristics. Cultural value is designated and is perceived as an observed characteristic whereas cultural products and services could be equalized with other product types. Santrauka Straipsnyje pateikiamos šiuolaikinės kultūros ir kūrybos ekonomikos koncepcijos, nurodomos susiformavimo prielaidos ir konfrontuojantys autorių požiūriai. Kūrybos ekonomikos apimtys nustatomos pagal kūrybinių industrijų rodiklius. Kai pati kultūra suprantama antropologine arba funkcine prasme, galima vartoti kultūrinių produktų sąvoką. Alternatyvus arba papildomas kultūrinių produktų ir paslaugų apibrėžimas kyla iš jų įkūnijamo arba kuriamo vertės tipo, t. y. galima sakyti, kad šie produktai ir paslaugos, kad ir kokią komercinę vertę įgytų, papildomai turi kultūrinę vertę, kurios neįmanoma iki galo įvertinti pinigais. Kitaip tariant, įvairių rūšių kultūrinė veikla ir ją vykdant sukurtos prekės ir paslaugos yra vertinamos – ir jos gamintojų, ir jos vartotojų – dėl socialinių ir kultūrinių priežasčių, kurios tikriausiai papildo ar viršija grynai ekonominį įvertinimą. Tai gali būti estetiniai svarstymai arba veiklos įnašas į bendruomenės kultūrinės tapatybės supratimą. Jei taptų įmanoma nustatyti tokią kultūrinę vertę, ja būtų galima pasinaudoti kaip stebima charakteristika, kurią taikant išskirti kultūriniai produktai ir paslaugos būtų lyginamos su kitais produktų tipais.
