Performance Evaluation of China Literature Limited 'S Acquisition of New Classics Media

In 2016, China put forward the concept of "digital creative industry" for the first time, and took it as one of the five pillars of the development of China's strategic emerging industries, marking that China's cultural and creative industry has officially entered the digital era. At the same time, with the upgrading of the consumption mode, the traditional entertainment consumption mode has been unable to meet the needs of consumers, resulting in the ceiling of the traditional culture and entertainment segments in China. Therefore, under the guidance of policies and the promotion of changes in consumption environment, the concept of "new cultural creation" arises.

Cultural cures for the disconnected mind.

The current article advances the hypothesis that creative culture evolved, in part, to allay the costs of the overgrown human brain and the cognitive integration limit that it imposes. Specific features can be expected among cultural elements best suited to allaying the integration limit and also among the neurocognitive mechanisms that might undergird these cultural effects. Music, visual art, and meditation are used as examples to illustrate how culture helps to bridge or sidestep the integration limit. Tiered religious, philosophical, and psychological concepts are considered in light of their reflection of the tiered process of cognitive integration. The link between creativity and mental illness is offered as additional support for the role of cognitive disconnection as a wellspring of cultural creativity, and I propose that this link can be harnessed in defense of neurodiversity. Developmental and evolutionary implications of the integration limit are discussed.

Interiors in the Land of the Great Outdoors

In the context of an expanding economy around the so-called creative industries, many cities are searching for theoretical models to guide urban development. Theoretical models from early post-modernists are being regularly re-examined, in part, because of their relevance to models for the contemporary city. This paper investigates situationist theory as a lens through which to explore alternative pockets of culture. Using situationist theory as a lens to observe the culture of the New Zealand bach, or the myth that it left behind, this paper exposes the paradox of bach culture as an urban model: the paradox of institutionalising a creative culture of resistance and of escaping the city only to find oneself at its centre.

The role of Ukrainian zemstvos in the formation of their public library space

This research into the participation of local self-government bodies in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries in the formation of Ukraine’s public library space is crucial given the need to study the factors that influenced the creation of Ukrainian book culture, national consciousness, and state-building. This study aims to characterise the role of Ukrainian zemstvo self-government bodies in the establishment of the Ukrainian public library space during the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The research methodology is based on the principles of scientific rigour, historicism, sociocultural and modernisation approaches, as well as general scientific (induction, logic, analysis, synthesis) and specifically historical methods: narrative, historical-genetic, and structural-functional analysis. The cultural and educational development of the Ukrainian village by zemstvos, a component of which was their public library work, from the 1860s until the fall of the Russian Empire, was a major direction of activity of these self-governing institutions, upon whose success the national progress of Ukrainians depended. In this sphere, the foundation was laid for the future public space of the Dnieper Ukraine. The establishment, at the expense of zemstvos and through their organisational efforts, of public libraries with broad, free access for all village residents, alongside the development of rural schools, was the alpha and omega of peasant Ukrainian life at that time. It shaped the region’s book culture and elevated the social activity of the largest social class. Thanks to the democratic zemstvo intelligentsia, during the revolution of 1905-1907, demands were made to increase the network of rural libraries, cooperation between zemstvos and Prosvitas expanded, and the Ukrainian printed word became more entrenched. The emergence of peasant republics in 1905, one of which was in Sumy, where peasants published a newspaper declaring the tsarist authority abolished, against the backdrop of zemstvo achievements in expanding the network of public libraries and education, demonstrated that the early 20th century marked an intensification of public library development in Ukrainian villages. This period also saw the maturation of the national consciousness among peasants and laid the groundwork for the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917-1921, a pivotal stage in Ukraine’s state-building efforts. The study of this topic will contribute to understanding the role of local self-government bodies in the functioning of Ukraine’s public library space under modern conditions, national identification among Ukrainians, and their consolidation in the face of hostile invasions

Grassroots creativity in arts and culture: a comparative analysis of case studies from the Balkans

This article examines self-organised grassroots initiatives in the creative and cultural sector of the Balkans, a region that has experienced significant socio-political shifts over the past three decades. The study focuses on three distinct case studies: Embros Theatre in Athens, Greece; Lumbardhi Cinema in Prizren, Kosovo; and Uzina Cultural Centre in Tirana, Albania. Theoretically, it draws on theory of agonistic practices (Mouffe 2005, 2013) and theories of care and repair (Graziano and Trogal 2017; Puig de la Bellacasa 2017; The Care Collective 2020) to analyse the formation, operation, and collective activities of these initiatives. The paper posits that grassroots initiatives emerge as counter-spaces in response to inadequate cultural infrastructure, limited funding and investment and scarce resources. At the same time, they exemplify more inclusive and “care-full” work models, carrying also the potential to spark change in their local communities by developing support networks.

Bureaucratic Culture and Innovation

AbstractThis study explores the effects of bureaucratic culture on innovation. We define bureaucratic culture as a culture in which power and officials are held in the highest regard. Using panel data of publicly listed Chinese manufacturing firms from 2007 to 2015, we found that bureaucratic culture negatively correlated with firms' patent output. A mechanism analysis shows that bureaucratic culture hindered corporate innovation by reducing firms' research and development inputs and decreasing innovation efficiency. Furthermore, we provided evidence that anti‐corruption campaigns and the development of formal institutions could neutralize the negative impact of bureaucratic culture on corporate innovation. This study is the first to investigate quantitatively the causal effect of bureaucratic culture on corporate innovation and it can deepen the understanding of the relationship between culture and innovation in China. We speculate that promoting a creative culture, particularly one that fosters entrepreneurial spirit, is of utmost importance.

Agile product management as a catalyst for technological innovation

Agile Product Management (APM) has emerged as a critical driver of technological innovation, enabling organizations to rapidly adapt to changing market dynamics and customer needs. This abstract explores the key principles of APM and its role in fostering innovation in today's fast-paced business environment. At its core, APM is a collaborative, iterative approach to product development that emphasizes flexibility, customer feedback, and continuous improvement. By breaking down complex projects into manageable tasks and delivering value incrementally, APM enables teams to respond quickly to market feedback and evolving requirements. One of the key features of APM is its emphasis on customer collaboration. By involving customers early and often in the development process, organizations can ensure that their products meet customer needs and expectations. This customer-centric approach not only drives innovation but also helps organizations stay ahead of the competition. Another important aspect of APM is its focus on cross-functional teams. By bringing together individuals with diverse skills and backgrounds, APM fosters a culture of creativity and innovation. Cross-functional teams are able to quickly experiment with new ideas, iterate on designs, and deliver high-quality products to market faster. In addition to fostering innovation, APM also helps organizations manage risk more effectively. By breaking projects down into smaller, more manageable pieces, organizations can identify and address potential issues early in the development process, reducing the likelihood of costly delays or failures. Overall, APM has emerged as a powerful catalyst for technological innovation. By embracing the principles of flexibility, customer collaboration, and continuous improvement, organizations can not only drive innovation but also stay ahead of the competition in today's rapidly evolving business landscape.

The findings under face visibility conditions, the success rate of male funders is significantly lower than the mean success rate of female funders. Crowdfunding success rates are generally higher when product prices exceed the average, with female funders consistently achieving higher success rates than male funders in this scenario. In crowdfunding video voiceovers, for founders of different genders, the impact of energy levels in crowdfunding videos on success rates is not significant. However, higher upset values lead to a greater success rate, with a similar increase for founders of different genders. The study concludes that in crowdfunding videos where faces are shown, female fundraisers significantly enhance success rates. Higher crowdfunding project prices lead to higher success rates, and female fundraisers are more likely to succeed in these projects. While the degree of discouragement in voiceovers significantly influences projects, gender is not a crucial influencing factor.
