Animalistic style in creative practices of contemporary artists and creative industries

The beginning of the 21st century is marked by the global demand for innovative (creative) industries, based on unique authorship, experience and personal talent. Cultural industries are systematically transformed into the main factor of the socio-economic transformation on the basis of updating the industrial culture of production, creation and cultivation of artistic geniuses. The new challenges of the global art development transform the infrastructure of intellectual and creative entrepreneurship, production and export of artistic works. This article explores the author's style formation on the basis of the creative interpretation of Old Turkic (Scythian, Central Asian) menagerie, widely represented in the artistic heritage of the region. The incorporation of the animalistic style of ancient civilizations in the creative practices of contemporary artists is accompanied by a deep philosophical, artistic, technical and technological reworking of the traditional code of the artistic culture. The article conceptualizes three types of the artistic continuity: the craftsmen type that reproduces the Mongolian craftsmen canon; the cultural institutions that convert the craft heritage into the contemporary creative industries and the rare type of craftsmen-artists who synthesize both approaches, rethinking the canon, traditional techniques and technology of working with traditional materials. All three types are represented by different systems of styling, the core of which is the animalistic style. Contemporary artisans Zhigzhit Bayaskhalanov and Dashi Namdakov create unique artistic images and metaphors, use innovative ways of shaping, and apply illogical, provocative and asymmetrical compositional solutions, transforming regional artistic traditions into leading global trends. The success of this experience is caused by socio-cultural, institutional factors (education, ethnicity, social origin from the rural handicrafts circle), ethno-cultural backgrounds (craft heritage, the presence of the family art collaboration). The empirical basis of the research consisted of 6 in-depth interviews and dozens of case studies from the participant observation.

Creative digipreneurs: Artistic entrepreneurial practices in platform-mediated space

Digital platforms play an increasingly important role in the everyday work practices of creative entrepreneurs and contribute to how their ventures take shape. Taking this observation as a starting point, this paper aims to explore the entanglement of entrepreneurial, artistic, and creative practices and processes with digital platforms. Drawing on interviews and online observations, the study traces the work practices of two creative producers, a textile designer in Berlin, Germany, and a filmmaker in Bengaluru, India, who both extensively use the social media platform Instagram for their work. Based on the two in-depth case studies, we advance the term creative digipreneurs to reflect the close relationship between the platform, the entrepreneur, and the artistic venture. Creative digipreneurs represent a novel hybrid role that includes the work practices of independent cultural producers, artists, independent entrepreneurs, and creators. This novel perspective allows us to 1) analyse how creative digipreneurs build up a creative venture while relating to people, the local creative scene in the respective cities, and to digital technologies such as Instagram. The platform-mediated situation of the creative digipreneurs allows us to reflect on the entanglement of online and offline spaces in the entrepreneurial artistic process. 2) We demonstrate that while Instagram presents an important opportunity for the creative development, marketing, and sales of the creative product; it also introduces novel constraints.

It Takes Two to Tango: Roles of Digital Strategy and Human Creativity in Creating Transformational Technopreneurship

Digital technology has birthed a new generation of creative entrepreneurs known as technopreneurs. However, merely adopting a digital strategy and technological innovations is insufficient without recognizing the importance of human creativity. This study aims to find the influence of digital strategy and human creativity in shaping the transformation of technopreneurship in startups. There needs to be an intuitive process as part of controlling soft information that digital products cannot handle. Sharpness of intuition in doing business and in extracting the value of technological transformation will ultimately lead startups to competitive advantage which is the first step towards success in carrying out technopreneurship transformation. The research used quantitative methods with a sample of 105 startup founders in Indonesia. The reliability and validity of the instrument were tested by Cronbach's Alpha, Average Variance Extracted (Pvc) and Composite Reliability (Pc). The data is processed using SMARTPLS 3.0. The results demonstrated that digital strategy and human creativity significantly influence the formation of technopreneurship transformation in startups. From the Path Coefficient value obtained, it means that the greater the digital strategy and human creativity owned by the startup, the higher the technopreneurship transformation.

ПОДОЛАННЯ ҐЕНДЕРНОЇ НЕРІВНОСТІ У СФЕРІ ІНТЕЛЕКТУАЛЬНОЇ ВЛАСНОСТІ В УМОВАХ ЄВРОІНТЕГРАЦІЇ УКРАЇНИ

This article delves into the analysis of gender inequality concerning the acquisition and commercialization of intellectual property (IP) rights in Ukraine amid the Eurointegration process. It critically assesses Ukraine's adherence to gender equality obligations, crucial for EU membership. The study explores the essence, nature, and causes of gender disparities in intellectual property, proposing solutions within the Eurointegration context. Key components of gender inequality in intellectual property are identified, with a focus on segments where imbalances are most pronounced. Analyzing Ukraine's patent applications through the international PCT system reveals that, over the last decade, only one-tenth of patents belong to women. The article characterizes barriers faced by women creatives in acquiring, protecting, and commercializing intellectual property rights in Ukrainian society. Effective tools to mitigate gender inequality in Ukrainian intellectual property are examined, including projects fostering creativity among women and involving them in intellectual activities. Positive outcomes for both individual women and society at large are highlighted. The study concludes that gender inequality negatively impacts economic development during conflict and impedes Eurointegration processes. Root causes of gender inequality in Ukrainian intellectual property include traditional stereotypes, insufficient government and business support, and emotional-psychological factors contributing to women's fears and lack of confidence. Addressing this issue necessitates a comprehensive approach, including promoting gender equality in intellectual property, creating favorable conditions, and developing state programs supporting creative entrepreneurship among women. The introduction of grant systems to fund the acquisition and registration of intellectual property rights by women is recommended, along with promoting a culture that protects intellectual property rights in society.

As a result of the study, it is proposed to develop the system of adult education in Ukraine, including through the creation of creative hubs in higher education institutions, accessible to different categories of the adult population (by age, level of previous education, skills). University hubs as centers of creative entrepreneurship should be built on the interaction of human creativity, ideas, knowledge, technologies, protection of intellectual property; they should gradually alter the economic life and social climate of local communities for the better through joint intellectual, emotional, and material practices. At that, university creative hubs as centers of cooperation between institutions and individuals will contribute to the formation of practices of openness, trust, and the development of professional associations of local communities. The prospect for the development of creative hubs of HEIs is the impact on other spheres of public life, such as employment policy, social, humanitarian policy, Euro-Atlantic integration (through advanced training and retraining of the population, promoting its employment, better informing communities, opening new opportunities for representatives of business, public organizations, etc., international cooperation, and so on). Therefore, further research in this direction should be the development of practical recommendations for the formation of a platform for horizontal economic and social interactions of the university creative hub with the local community.

Entrepreneurship Training and Application of Break Even Point Analysis in the Framework of Generating an Entrepreneurial Spirit and Exploring New Ideas in Wearnes Malang Students

Wearnes is an out-of-school educational institution that provides computer, business and sales marketing materials with the aim of providing students with the skills to become entrepreneurs. However, the development and discovery of new ideas for entrepreneurship in educational institutions is still not optimal because the number of meetings on sales marketing material is relatively short, resulting in a lack of implementation of business/business concepts into business practices. For this reason, it is necessary to provide training to foster enthusiasm, new ideas and entrepreneurial creativity. This training also provides a way of calculating break even point analysis of the business plan that will be implemented, especially how to determine the selling price of its business products. The importance of providing this training is to contribute to students who are the younger generation with great potential to start new businesses and develop them in the future so that they have a large multiplier effect in creating new jobs.

The influence of the socio-cultural environment on entrepreneurial activity

The analysis of other scientific publications showed that the sociocultural environment is a multifaceted concept. It consists of a cultural and social environment, which are interdependent. Social and cultural are mutually dependent, which means that the social cannot exist without the cultural, and the cultural cannot exist without the social. In general, the social and cultural environment can be reduced to factors arising from human behavior, which is a dialectical unity of physiological and social behavior. Entrepreneurial activity is carried out in a certain socio-cultural environment, such an environment has a corresponding influence on it. It is important for entrepreneurs to understand that the key features of the development of the economy and economic institutions are formed under the influence of socio-cultural factors. Entrepreneurs are driven by the interest to maximize their profit. It should be noted that the achievement of this goal depends on the entrepreneur's ability to identify social needs and satisfy them. A lifestyle is formed through the prism of the socio-cultural environment. Entrepreneurs must take this into account in the course of their activities. It was determined that the existence of different cultural traditions can lead to misunderstandings and poor cooperation between members of the work team. Accordingly, knowledge of these differences, the ability to manage them helps to establish normal work in the team. Changes in sociocultural factors can last for years. However, some of them change faster and more dynamically, for example, thanks to the development of technologies, the political situation, the pandemic. Sociocultural factors have an impact on creative entrepreneurship, and at the same time, creative entrepreneurship improves the sociocultural environment. In the process of research, the factors of the socio-cultural environment were selected, to the change of which entrepreneurs should first of all respond. These factors include culture, habits, beliefs and values, population size and growth, age composition, household and family structure, wealth and social class, ethnicity, and geographic factors. It has been established that a new socio-cultural space is emerging in Ukraine today.

Understanding the Dynamic Creative Clustering in the Phra Athit Road Area of Bangkok

This article examines changes along Phra Athit Road in Rattanakosin's historic center. With the support of the state, a former commercial street became a "cultural quarter" and eventually a "cultural-creative cluster," with creative activities infiltrating the neighborhoods. For this study, the researcher conducted a field survey and interviewed creative entrepreneurs in four sub-districts. The Phra Athit Road social and cultural resources reflect the qualities or potential resources of traditional neighbourhoods that have fostered the development of creative clusters. "Urban culture” is one of the district's key cultural resources that is properly understood and utilized, and its complex network of creative people is a crucial social resource. These creative people are “outsiders” with strong relationships to “insiders”; some of them advocate a new way of living, while others comprise groups of intellectuals with creative economy talents and tasks. Cultural-creative clusters comprise more than people; they are typified by cafés and bars, exhibition spaces, and the production of creative products. These clusters may vary from one another in function and location, and newer clusters, less dense than the original, are less harmful to traditional communities and businesses. What they have in common is that they have enabled participants to gain real-life experiences and join distinctive activities customized by entrepreneurs. Still, those who use external resources to create goods and develop a creative cluster may endanger the very neighbourhoods where they take root.
 The Phra Athit Road area provides a deep understanding of "creative clustering," which refers to a dynamic process that has taken place in some traditional neighbourhoods, based on the positive exploitation of their rich traditional, artistic, and cultural resources. Entrepreneurs are producing unique products that fit into complex systems, which is good for the area, but may also disrupt established patterns in the community. Transforming the historic area gradually could help locals adjust to the change. This study proposes the following approaches to promote both the protection of traditional structures and the acceptance of change: (1) The design or planning of the area should allow for development that is consistent with the rhythm of life in the area. Proper pacing of changes and the growth of well-sized creative clusters create an ecosystem that is good for both the residents and creative entrepreneurs. (2) The neighbourhood’s values should be enhanced by integrating local and external resources. The wide range of creative production and consumption activities that are created from these resources will be unique and endlessly adaptable. (3) The adaptability of cultural-creative clusters should be optimized through programs provide good services and offer support to the urban regeneration. However, such programs and support should not limit the creativity and flexibility of these clusters.

The Effect of Dynamic Capability On New Established Company’s Performance: Mediating Role of Entrepreneurial Creativity

A firm performance resulting from dynamic capability empowerment maintains the survival of newly established companies and established companies amid intense competition and environmental changes. This study aimed to examine the effect of dynamic capability empowerment in newly established companies on a firm performance mediated by entrepreneurial creativity. Online survey data were collected from 143 newly established shipping agency companies in 22 Indonesian provinces as member of Indonesia shipping agency association. The data were analyzed using WarpPLS 7.0, and analysis unit was organization represented by managing director. The results showed that dynamic capability empowerment in newly established companies that emphasize learning capability affect a firm performance with a low significance. Furthermore, dynamic capability empowerment inicreases the firm performance when mediated by entrepreneurial creativity. This results indicate that newly established companies will achieve higher performance by empowering their dynamic capabilities that emphasize learning capability if it is followed an entrepreneurial creativity breakthrough. The increased performance helps the firm respon to tough competition and unpredictable dynamic environmental changes. The theoretical implication of this study is enriched empirical evidence in examining the relationship between dynamic capability and firm performance. The practical implication of this study is that when a newly established company that limited resources and limited access external resources improves its performance by empowering dynamic capability if it is followed an entrepreneurial creativity breakthrough. This study contributed a new empirical finding to the theory of dynamic capability in newly established companies as the previous studies with this focus are hard to find.

Access and diversity in South African craft and design: The work of craft intermediaries in Cape Town

Creative intermediaries are increasingly recognised for their role in facilitating the growth and development of creative entrepreneurs and creative and cultural industries. There is also a growing interest in the role of creative and cultural industries in developing economies, for economic development but also cultural engagement and social change. In this article, we bring a Global South perspective to the study of creative intermediaries in the craft sector by exploring how they engage with makers and markets for craft products in Cape Town, South Africa and beyond. Using qualitative interviews with key players from four intermediary organisations working at the community level through to luxury export, we present their different business models and approaches to supporting the development of the craft sector and makers. We reflect on the role they play in addressing inequalities, especially in opportunities to access craft careers and develop sustainable livelihoods for disadvantaged communities. We also consider some of the key challenges these intermediaries face in relation to policy, infrastructure, finance and global competition. The article argues for the value of adopting an ecological perspective in studying the role of craft intermediaries to recognise their role in addressing inequalities in accessing craft careers and the importance of support for makers at different stages in their professional development.
