Local Worker Perspectives from Nicaraguan Surf Tourism: Revisiting Career Anchors

This qualitative study explores the internal careers of local workers in the highly internationalized sector of surf tourism using career anchor theory. The results of the study indicate the sustained value and instrumentality of Schein’s original career anchor theory. Specifically, the results suggest that the most common career anchors for our sample of local workers were lifestyle, security and stability, and entrepreneurial creativity. These findings provide valuable insights on the career anchors of workers in non-bureaucratic vocational settings and shed light on local workers’ career decisions, an often-neglected perspective within international human resource management.

Character trait, context or… create! Innovative practices among creative entrepreneurs

ABSTRACT The creative industries are often considered an important engine of innovation; in the creative sectors, but more importantly, also in the general economy. Yet, contrary to most of the knowledge industries, the creative industries are not thought to pursue innovation as a purposeful effort. This raises the question, that if innovation tends to happen unintentionally, which factors contribute to its nascence? Building upon a qualitative analysis of 43 interviews with entrepreneurs in the creative industries, this paper aims to obtain a better understanding of such creative industries innovation by studying how these entrepreneurs become (in their own perception) more innovative. Our findings show that entrepreneurs in the creative industries perceive their innovativeness to be caused by: (1) their own innovative traits and creativity, (2) external spatial, social, knowledge and work contexts stimulating an innovative state of mind, and (3) by means of serendipity, experimentation and inspiration found in creative practices.

Rearticulating the creative industries-STEM relationship: the case of innovation precincts in South Australia

There is a fraught history to the relationship between creative industries policy and programs on the one hand, and on the other, innovation and entrepreneurship policy and programs, which have rarely been inclusive of creative industries, although there are developments which run counter to this neglect. But structural changes to modern economies mean that innovation policy needs to shift to accommodate creative industries. The article reviews some of the problems associated with that shift, and notes that a major innovation lever used by governments—precinct or cluster development—has had a mixed record when applied to culture. A focus on one site—Adelaide, South Australia—demonstrates that progress can be made when a clear vision is articulated of the integral role that creative industries can play in innovation policies for economic growth and infrastructure support. Six precincts in inner-urban Adelaide—ranging from pure arts to advanced manufacturing—interact to produce additionality rather than simply aggregation, enacting a productive ecosystem for both creative industries and STEM. The precincts ecology enhances practical creative entrepreneurship, acts as a conduit for the movement of talent as it seeks greater challenge and opportunity, disrupts existing norms in innovation practice; and facilitates access to new markets.

Overview on Creativity and Entrepreneurship in Creative Industries

From the music we listen to, to the door we open at work and the chair we sit on right now, creativity is all around us. It has a great contribution in our everyday lives, as nowadays more and more people strive to develop both their imagination and inventiveness. An individual who has nurtured his creativity has an advantage over a person who did not. He or she might bring up an unusual solution, yet effective for a difficult problem, create something unseen or unheard before or even design a new and innovative product - but creativity does not imply an artistic or world-changing creation. Everyday tasks require creativity, therefore almost every individual has developed his inner creativeness to a certain level. “Creative entrepreneurship” is a term which refers to business activity within a creative sector and refers to investment in the entrepreneur’s or others’ talent. The aim of this paper is to offer an overview on creativity and clarify what exactly means to be creative, and to contrast the differences between a regular entrepreneur and one who performs in a creative industry.

Coworking spaces and creative communities: making resilient coworking spaces through knowledge sharing and collective learning

ABSTRACT Sharing of spaces enhances networking and collaboration in cultural and creative industries on both formal and informal levels. Nevertheless, there is a lack of awareness concerning coworking spaces (CWS) and their resilience through knowledge sharing in communities, especially in space–community–coworker interactions. The aim is to identify how CWS enhance their resilience through knowledge sharing in communities and develop collective learning in local creative ecosystems to promote adaptation. A total of 34 in-depth face-to-face interviews with CWSs founders or managers and 17 creative entrepreneurs in selected CWS in Europe. Using content analysis by axial and selective coding of the collected primary data, groups of codes were eventually integrated to interpret the issue by its contextualization using grounded theory as a research approach in such qualitative study. Results suggest that CWS strengthen their resilience through cross-over innovation with diverse stakeholder engagement and spillover effects of knowledge sharing as a part of space resilience. These initiatives contribute to community resilience with a focus on entrepreneurial thinking and career development. CWS develop interactive learning models as initiatives to retain and attract creative entrepreneurs in communities. The paper concludes that CWS can develop a creative ecosystem with systematic collective learning engaging different stakeholders.

A study on the cross level transformation from individual creativity to organizational creativity

We examined how entrepreneurs’ individual creativity is transformed into organizational creativity. Employees’ individual creativity is considered as the source and foundation of organizational creativity. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs have multiple identities in organizations, including employees, founders, and leaders. However, the effect of entrepreneurs’ creativity on organizational creativity remains unclear. We assumed that entrepreneurs’ individual creativity can be considered as the starting point for organizational creativity in creative enterprises. In addition, we proposed that entrepreneurs’ transformational and transactional leadership mediate the relationship between individual creativity and organizational creativity. 202 responses from creative entrepreneurs were used to evaluate and validate our proposed hypotheses. This study constructed a cross-level framework for creativity from the entrepreneurs’ perspective. More importantly, we provided a basic theoretical explanation about how creative entrepreneurs initiate a business utilizing their creativity, hence making an important contribution to the literature. The framework also provides practical guidance to entrepreneurs.

The moral work of becoming a professional

Abstract In contemporary working life, art-based initiatives are increasingly used in organizational training and development. For artists, this has created new employment opportunities as creative entrepreneurs who provide specialist services for workplaces. In this article, we study the dynamics of such encounters through the narrated accounts of training professionals. Our data come from a professional mentoring program where the working pairs of artists and consultants shared stories about their customer projects. By using conversation analysis as a method, we analyze the way stories are interactionally accomplished in peer group sessions of the program. In particular, we analyze how participants produce different versions of the narrated events, and by so doing, negotiate the questions of blame and accountability with regard to professional action. In conclusion, we discuss stories and storytelling as organizational practice through which the moral order and legitimacy of the program is sustained and the boundaries of the profession constructed.

Влияние цифровизации экономики на трансформацию подготовки кадров рыбопромышленной отрасли

Digitalization is one of the key challenges for modern society. Given the inevitability of "digitalization" as a global phenomenon, there is no doubt that transformation processes should take place taking into account the needs of the development of the digital economy, innovative and creative entrepreneurship, scientific opportunities, new needs and challenges both for each individual country and for the world in the whole. Currently, the use of "digital" technologies in industry is one of the most important and sustainable trends in world development. The active introduction and dissemination of digital technologies (artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, "cloud" computing, etc.) leads to a large-scale transformation of requirements for specialists, changes the content of work and the demand for competencies, the key role in the formation of which belongs to education. In this context, the study of the peculiarities of the impact of digitalization of the economy on the transformation of personnel training in the fishing industry acquires particular relevance and significance. Special attention in the article is paid to key competencies and digital literacy, which should become an integral attribute of personnel qualifications. The need for the formation of "hard" and "soft" skills is also indicated. Based on the results of the study, recommendations were formulated for increasing digital literacy and proper training for the fishing industry at the level of the education system as a whole and directly by the business entities themselves.

‘Not a trend. It’s a tradition’: Remaking Pacific identity and culture at London Pacific Fashion Week 2019

In recent years, the recognition of creative industries such as art, design, media and fashion has thrust these sectors into the spotlight as valuable tools for economic development and integration into global markets. By establishing themselves as creative hotspots, developing countries grow small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and promote creative entrepreneurs who are involved in transforming culture. While an emphasis on incorporating ‘culture’ into design might also be seen as stultifying or essentializing culture, stakeholders working in the region consistently emphasize the significance of incorporating local cultures into their creations. In this article, we draw on interviews with Pacific designers and fashion festival organizers to demonstrate the range of ways in which ‘culture’ is woven into the story of Pacific fashion. In doing so, we highlight the ways in which participants are ‘remaking’ cultural identity and expression by ‘spinning it into something new’, keeping cultural connections alive and personal for those involved in these industries, while also allowing makers to situate their brand or product in the global market. Furthermore, we suggest that involvement in the world of fashion on a global scale represents an opportunity for participants to explore more inclusive and diverse versions of Pacific identity than those sanctioned or imagined outside the world of fashion.

Creativity as a Necessary Component of Entrepreneurial Competencies Development

Aim. To study and design the theoretical and methodological framework for understanding the phenomenon of creativity, creativeness and their role in development of entrepreneurial competencies.Tasks. The key objective of this article is to conceptualize the category of “entrepreneurial creativity” as a necessary component of entrepreneurial competencies development, and its significance for innovation and project activities in the modern economic paradigm.Methods. The basis of this paper is the transdisciplinary approach combining philosophical and ethical provisions of the theory of synergetics, metaethics, and semantic theories that are fundamental for research in the field of entrepreneurship theory. The research is based on the methodological approach that provides synthesis of the methods of individualism and holism, which makes it possible to expand the range of issues of the theory of entrepreneurship development in accordance with the intersubjective nature of economic reality and the irrational component of entrepreneurial behavior.Results. Detachment from practical interest should transform intellectual limits into limitless possibilities of entrepreneurial creativity. Irrationality in logic, which is beyond reason, contradicts logic, is usually opposed to the rational as the reasonable, expedient, justified. Any innovative problem seems to be solved not only exclusively in terms of the rational. The task of the theory of entrepreneurship is to combine the rational and the irrational on the basis of the new methodological principle and in accordance with regularities, if any.Conclusions.In modern Russian, for words “creativity” and “creativeness”, the tendency of interchangeability is increasing, due to merging of their semantic fields. However, the analysis shows that they have different collocability, and form various set phrases. Metalinguistic reflection requires strengthening the “creativity — creativeness” opposition. Creativity is associated with non-standard solutions or deviant behavioral features, while for innovative activities, the primary meaning of creativeness is important: creation of something new, previously non-existent. Creative destruction, which is the consequence of implementing the creative innovative idea, inevitably results in changing the present, and constructing the future. In search of meaningful response to increasing complexity and uncertainty of world development, it is necessary to design such a scientific paradigm that will allow building in entrepreneurs’ worldview structural links connecting ethics, aesthetics and economics in a way that they contribute to development of a positive suprasystem effect in the field of innovation and project activities. This is an important methodological technique for deepening self-consciousness.

Factor Affecting Determinants of the Theory of Reasoned Action on Green Entrepreneurship Intention

Green entrepreneurship is attempting to play a vastly increased role in protecting the environment through sustainable development. This study's main objective is to construct a hypothesis model of green entrepreneurship intention with their three main determinants, "attitude, subjective norm and institutional support" of university graduates, based on the theory of reasoned action. In order to achieve this, a researcher used the structural equation model for the statistical measurement to study the theoretical model based on 513 students of universities from two selected universities in Pakistan. The statistical outcomes revealed that green entrepreneurial intention directly affects attitude, subjective norm and educational support by the educational institute. While Green awareness helps to strengthen the green entrepreneurial = the green entrepreneurial intention. More significantly, creative entrepreneurs with high institutional support, self-attitude and subjective norm are more likely to participate in green recognition. Consequently, this strategy endorses the intention of students towards green entrepreneurship. On the other hand, creative entrepreneurs with low green self-identity are more likely to get involved in green disengagement, which prevents green entrepreneurial intention. Finally, we explore the theoretical and practical consequences of our findings for entrepreneurial and green entrepreneurship practices.
