Ekonomika kreatywności w zarządzaniu kulturą
The economy of creativity in culture management

Summary/Abstract: Fundamental to the understanding of creative economy – what it comprises and how it functions in the economies of both developed and developing countries – are the concepts of “cultural industries” and “creative industries”. This article provides an overview of the development of the concepts of “creativity” throughout this decade leading to what has become known as “creative economy”. The author’s intention is not to reach a fi nal consensus about the concepts, but to understand their evolution. The major drivers of the growth of creative economy and its multiple dimensions are examined in the light of recent developments including the world economic crisis. This article also provides evidence for economic contribution of creative industries to economy. The author also tries to consider separately the notions of economic value and cultural value. In this approach, he refers to the fact that economic thought is based on a traditionally individualistic approach, while culture is a manifestation of collective behavior.
