Culture, Innovation and Entrepreneurship: connecting the knowledge dots
Bari, Italy | 10-12 June 2015
Entrepreneurs create jobs, commercialize and disseminate innovations and stimulate development. They are influence by a country's cultural specificity and may affect the cultural activities which are usually underfinanced. Still when it comes to entrepreneurship most researchers tend to concentrate on identifying the business activities and personal traits that enable entrepreneurs to accessand mobilize the necessary resources in order to start a new business. In other words, they concentrate on economic activities and neglect both the high culture – what goes on in museums, opera houses, symphony halls and theatres – and the popular culture – folk and commercial varieties. The necessity of emphasizing the link between culture and entrepreneurship has already been brought foreword by the European Commission which launched the "The Creative Shift" program. Starting from these we aim to identify the main factors and conditions that encourage cultural entrepreneurship and foster innovation in cultural sectors.
Good morning Alexandra,
There's new combinaitions social studies entrepreneurship in the internet where you can find some answers about your question on Cfp entrepreneurship and innovation in the archives since may 2011 to now such as this November.
Alexandra, this is a very interesting topic. We noticed that many self made millionaires have collected impressive collections of modern art. It might be worth to analyze private art collectors and find out how many have inherited the art investment money, how many have earnt it as a corporate manager and how many have actually created one or more companies. My hypothesis is that the successfull entrepreneurs are over represented among art collectors.
Dear Gunnar,
This observation is very interesting :)
Best regards
Alexandra
