Innovation Policy in the Creative Industries
A call for papers has been issued for a special issue of the journal Innovation: Management, Policy and Practice on innovation policy in the creative industries.
Policy frameworks in the arts and cultural industries have traditionally been based on welfare theory and industry policy. The arrival of the 'creative industries' framework has begun to shift analytic foundations toward innovation systems and innovation theory and, in consequence, toward innovation policy. However, there remain significant challenges in both the theory and practice of applying innovation policy to this sector. This special issue seeks to identify and examine the main analytic issues in the relation between the innovation system and the creative industries. It then seeks to formulate and review innovation policy mechanisms in this domain.
Papers are invited on a range of salient topics including:
- Lessons from innovation surveys in cultural and creative industries businesses
- Think, play, do model in the arts (ie fifth generation innovation systems theory)
- Transition from industry policy to innovation policy
- Policy models (case studies and economic analysis)
- Creative industries and human capital, including education policy
- Competition policy and innovation policy (market dynamics); also connection to growth and development policy (investment)
- Analysis of intervention strategies
- Role of public sector research and infrastructure
- R&D policy, Tax policy
- Policy experiments (evidence based policy)
- Connections between innovation policy and other policy objectives (eg cultural and social policy)
- Political economy considerations
