Call for papers: The Creative Economy in Global Competition

The creative economy, which was first coined by Howkins (2001), receives much attention from both academicians and practitioners in developing counties, including Korea.

 The creative economy may be defined as businesses that promote creativity, the convergence of knowledge, and advanced scientific technology based on coordinated learning,

creating new markets and new jobs. This may be inferred as seeking a new paradigm in economic development, breaking from the chase-and-imitate economic model

and turning toward a new and innovative one. The creative economy could be a driving force to grow and sustain a national economy, especially

 in developing countries, amidst fierce global competition.

Unexpected economic challenges push Korean society to adapt in new ways, including the promotion of the creative economy.

 This new economic development paradigm will produce qualitative changes in the manufacturing and service sectors,

a new interpretation of the Schumpeterian idea, and new approaches to dealing with altered climate and demographic conditions.

It is strongly suggested that submitted papers have a technological focus. Papers must outline the social

or policy implications of technological change, and/or introduce extensions to the tool set for technology assessment/forecasting.

 

This special issue focuses on the following areas, which are not necessarily exhaustive:

 

Creative economy in general

Policies for creative economy

Ethical issues in creative economy

Digital entrepreneurship

Global competition

Intellectual property in creative economy

Industry-specific strategies in creative economy 

Creative industries
