Creative entrepreneurship and tourism: The case of Rotterdam
Full text linkWithin the cultural and creative industries, entrepreneurs are also highly motivated by their passion for their artistic and creative activity. In this context, creative entrepreneurship seems relatively often related to a certain lifestyle motivated by this passion, rather than by economic benefits. Despite these studies, there is a gap in our understanding of the relationships between creative entrepreneurs and tourism. The research question underlying this exploratory study is therefore as follows: To what extent are creative entrepreneurs embedding tourism in their business models, and how can this contribute to building a more liveable city
KNOWLEDGE NETWORKS OF NEW MEDIA ARTISTS
No full textKnowledge-based economies regard a high importance to knowledge and
technology for the productivity and economic performance of societies. Its
importance extends to the cultural sector, where it is considered to have an important
role to creativity. The formation of knowledge networks in the sector responds to the
common formation of social networks and its function as a way to access and share
knowledge. In the artistic genre of new media art, which is based on the intersection
between art, science, and technology, the constant acquisition and reconfiguration of
explicit and tacit knowledge is important, which is most often approached by the
means of interdisciplinary collaborations. Based on empirical data collected through
14 interviews to new media artists, this research answers the research question: To
what extent do social networks of new media artists foster processes of creation,
transfer, and adoption of knowledge? Furthermore, in order to answer this main
question, this research delve into the study of the networks and the ways to access
to them; as well as the motivations, the learnings, and the contexts present in these
knowledge-related processes. Mexico City was chosen as the empirical setting for
this study. This research contributes to the available information and understanding
about new media art by looking into social phenomena that affect the production of
artworks. Also, the results provide relevant information about the way in which
learning processes happen between actors of interdisciplinary practices. The results
confirm the importance of knowledge networks for new media art and the contexts in
which knowledge is created, transferred, and adopted. They highlight the importance
of horizontal relationships in interdisciplinary collaborations and projects, a
characteristic that fosters the flow of knowledge between the actors involved
THE MOVIE INDUSTRY AND REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: THE CASE OF ROCCO SCHIAVONE AND THE AOSTA VALLEY
Full text linkThe movie industry is a creative sector that has the potential to contribute to (regional) economic development. Understanding the role of different stakeholders in the different parts of the process of movie production is paramount to provide an overview of the aspects that underlie an interaction that leads to regional economic development. Therefore, this study aims at investigating to what extent the interaction of stakeholders in the movie industry contributes to fostering regional economic development. A qualitative approach based on the single case study of Rocco Schiavone, an Italian tv series set in the Aosta Valley was used. A total of 14 in-depth interviews were recorded among different stakeholders using a snowball sampling. and the results point out to different interactions and power relations between stakeholders. During the three phases of pre-production, production and post-production, stakeholders also experience tensions. The paper concludes by underlining that despite the mainly positive outcome in terms of benefits for stakeholders and consequent economic development in the region, there are also challenges regarding the precariousness of jobs in the sector and the development of film-induced tourism products
