Policy Discussion

As the 21st century progresses, the most successful economies and societies will be creative ones. Worldwide, governments are producing strategies to encourage the development of creative industries and to strengthen the role of knowledge cities nationally and internationally. There is significant policy discussion regarding the role of creative clusters in strengthening local economies and significant energy has been expended discussing the many positive outcomes of such developments. This chapter takes these issues as a starting point and considers the role of creative industries within broader concerns regarding regional development. Referring to data and analysis on the urban and regional geographies of creative industries the chapter considers the extent to which places at different levels of the settlement hierarchy can successfully develop creative industry nodes.

Motifs of the comedy “Tieteybit” served as the prototype for staging the the first Yakut musical comedy, and even a film. A survey was conducted touching upon the following questions: are the innovations introduced in culture in form of a screen version of classical literature with the elements of innovation encourage the young generation to studying the Yakut cultural heritage?; what is the relevance of the work by N. D. Neustroev “Tieteybit”? The conclusions is made that in the XXI century, N. D. Neustroev's comedy “Tieteybit” has become one of the basics for the development of creative industry of the region. As an instrument for the development of regional culture, creative industry may play the strongest and highly effective role in the development of social life of the region.

In 1987 Chris Smeenk wrote in this journal about the libraries of the Dutch art historical institutes. In the 22 years that have since passed many changes have occurred, perhaps most notably the merging of the many autonomous institute libraries into larger ones. Has this led to a more professional approach or was it caused by a search for more efficiency? Does this really matter? The fact is that Smeenk, or any other library user familiar with Dutch art history libraries, would hardly recognise the situation at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. Maybe he would complain about the disappearance of the traditional academic institute librarian, but on the other hand he might be cheered by many other developments, such as the more central role of services for the public. Let’s take a look....

AbstractAlthough the contribution of creative industries to world economy has been widely acknowledged in the last few decades, their failure rate is still high and frustrates creative entrepreneurs. However, few empirical studies have been done to explore what causes creative entrepreneurs’ intention to quit. This paper, therefore, aims to draw upon the theories of motivation and entrepreneurship to offer a better understanding of entrepreneurs’ withdrawal intention. We incorporate the theory of motivation, creativity, and opportunity to realize their inter-play roles in reducing entrepreneurs’ intention to quit in creative industry sector. A sample of 272 creative entrepreneurs in Taiwan’s creative industries is used to test the framework we propose. Results show that entrepreneurial creativity and opportunity recognition enhance entrepreneurs’ motivation by satisfying the need for basic finance, need for work–life equilibrium, need for social reputation, and need for career achievement. Moreover, we found that entrepreneurs’ motivation in need for work–life equilibrium and need for career achievement reduces their intention to quit.

Ambiguous Position

This paper examines the position of crafts within the creative industries and considers how this has been affected by the growing links between the creative industries and tourism. A review of the creative industries concept indicates that crafts occupy an ambiguous position between art and tradition, which problematises their relationship with the creative industries. This is gradually changing at the creative and tourism sectors become more closely linked, and craft has become an important element of the development of creative tourism experiences. We review the role of craft in creative tourism, including case studies from Brazil, Finland, and Thailand, to examine how tourism can support the creative development of crafts. This analysis indicates that craft can be an important aspect of creative tourism development in different contexts and can provide a strong basis for placemaking initiatives.

The paper addresses the gap in analysing the complex role of creative industry businesses in small towns with regard to sustainable development. It takes a scholarly literature review approach and in the final section proposes a typology of sustainability-oriented actions, which creative industry businesses may or may not take in practice. As a typology of positive contributions, it lays groundwork for an empirical study, which is envisaged as the next step. The paper reinforces the idea of the complexity of the dimensions of sustainability as context-dependent, negotiated and situated, and the ambivalent role of creative industry businesses, stemming from the material realities of creating, distributing and consuming cultural and digital products.
