More and more cultural and government leaders are recognizing the scope and impact of the creative industries on the economy. Commercial enterprises (such as publishing, design, advertising, music, and theater), and nonprofit organizations (such as museums, concert halls, folk life centers, art schools and conservatories), – all of them are gaining recognition as an important engine of the 21st-century economy. The main manpower of creative industries is the creative class. The guiding principles of the creative class include freedom of imagination, inquiry, and expression, as well as freedom of opportunity for all to participate in a vital and diverse culture. It is fundamentally different from the industrial age workforce. And it provokes important issues about training and workforce development, preservation of culture, and access to knowledge. The policies affecting the creative economy are being formed at a global level within international and multilateral institutions. This makes tracing their ramifications particularly complex. The article highlights modern approaches to the definition of "creative industries", "creative class". The transformational processes taking place on the world labor market and influencing the national socio-cultural space are analyzed. It is determined that the gap in the economic growth of countries is based on the disproportion of intellectual capital, technology, accumulated knowledge, and ways to use them. The means of eliminating such a disproportion is the development of a special creative class, the formation of which will contribute to a number of state, political, legal decisions, and, in particular, restructuring the education system, its reorientation to overcome standardization and stimulate creativity, diversity of cultural events, science, art, technology.

Creativity is a fundamental manifestation of human existence and is present in every human being in different forms. The creative economy is a natural environment for innovative ideas, development and exploitation of creative potential. Over the last two decades, it has been observed that creativity is gradually becoming a driving force for economies, and as a result the importance of creative industries is also increasing. The creative industry is increasingly becoming part of EU documents and policies. The governments of the creative countries gradually introduced the concept of the creative industry, the creative class and the creative city and their importance. The creative industry refers to those parts of the economy that create economic value on the basis of individual creative input or artistic talent. It is a sector based on the exploitation of intellectual property. The aim of this work is to briefly map the concept of creative economy and its measurement in the work of foreign and Slovak authors and describe the possible potential of this industry.

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.

The author discusses a new method, rarely used in Poland so far − a method of mapping cultural industries and creative industries. The concept of mapping creative industries is founded on the Anglo-Saxon ground and goes beyond the usual plotting of the maps. This method enables countries, regions and cities to estimate the value of the creative sectors. It is based on determining a set of analytical methods for collecting and presenting information on the scale and the scope of the creative industries. In mapping, both quantitative and qualitative methods are used, as well as such sources of knowledge, as literature review, analysis of official government data, research on specific sectors, analysis of data from non-governmental sources, analysis of the industry informants and case studies. Mapping can be a valuable tool in lobbying the creative class, but its main purpose is to deepen the knowledge about this sector of the economy, which is still not sufficiently analyzed. The author considers and analyses not only mapping as a way to describe the dynamic sectors of culture, but also the very definition of mapping the creative sector, outlining the opinion and comments of Krzysztof Stachowiak, a researcher of problems of concentration of cultural industries. What serves as a frame of the article, is the description of the film industry growing currently in Gdynia and the ways in which this mini-industry can be described using the principles of mapping creative industries.

The functioning of “teal organizations” exclusively within the framework of a creative economy, where the greatest value is the realization of the creative potential of the employee, has been examined in the article.

The article presents the concept of the creative economy as a new economic phenomenon in the globalized environment. Four approaches on the new occurrence are presented. According to John Howkins theory, the fifteen creative industries (listed by the author) are the core of the creative economy. Both creativity and economy aren’t new, but brand new are its interaction and scope. A wide definition of creativity has formed Richard Florida’s theory of the developing creative class, which is a group of professionals, researchers and artists whose presence creates socioeconomic and cultural dynamism in cities especially. Richard Caves characterizes creative industries on the basis of seven economic properties and presents an idea that creative industries as such aren’t unique but the sectors of creative industries driven by creativity generate new approaches to business processes, the demand-supply chain and covers both economic and social indicators of the country development. Charles Landry has proposed a creative city concept, which states that cities are dependent on one resource only – its people. Creativity changes place, natural resources, market access, and becomes the key to dynamism of city development. A creative city defines a metropolis with variety of cultural activities glued to urban economical and social functioning. Key activities highly influencing rapid growth of the creative industries worldwide are related to both technology and economy. Digital revolutions and economic environments where revolutions took place, changes in technology and communications altogether have formed new conditions for development of creative economy as a new economic phenomenon.
