Abstract

Objective : The article evaluates cooperation in enterprises from the point of view of building creative capital. Research Design & Methods : Research was conducted among companies from Poland’s Podkarpackie Province: 100 entities from the creative sector and 430 entities operating in various sections of the national job-type classification. Findings : There is a need to create mechanisms conducive to establishing and strengthening cooperation in creativity. The survey on cooperation done among respondents in enterprises revealed that their average assessment was of “a medium impact”. Implications / Recommendations : The dimension of cooperation does not differentiate enterprises conducting different economic activities in terms of how they build creative capital. Contribution : the novel aspect of this research was its combination of issues of cooperation and creative capital. Cooperation was accepted as a component of creative capital and assessed according to the author’s formula. The comparative assessment made among creative sector enterprises and other sections of the national job-type classification can be considered as input.
