“…One way is to apply concepts used to measure innovation in manufacturing or other industries, often relying on the methodological recommendations laid down in the OECD and Eurostat's (2005) "Oslo Manual" on collecting and interpreting innovation data. Bakhshi et al (2008), Miles and Green (2008) and Wilkinson (2007) show results of such an exercise based on UK data. Another way is to capture the specificities of innovation in enterprises producing creative services by developing separate concepts of innovation, such as aesthetic or "soft" innovation (Stoneman, 2007), content innovation (Handke, 2004;, artistic innovation (Galenson, 2006) or case study based approaches (Miles and Green, 2008;Green et al, 2007).…”

“…Bakhshi et al (2008) andExperian (2007) both use measures from input-output accounts and data from the CIS in order to explore the relationship between the Creative Industries and innovation in other sectors. They distinguish between two effects which can influence innovation activities in other sectors.…”

“…Very recently, the role of innovation in the creative industries was studied in more detail. One group of studies focuses on innovation activities in enterprises that belong to the Creative Industries (see Miles and Green, 2008;Wilkinson, 2007;Stoneman, 2007;Handke, 2004Handke, , 2006Galenson, 2006;Green et al, 2007) while some other studies are concerned with the role of Creative Industries in contributing to innovation in the wider economy, particularly with regard to inputs from the creative industries that may be used in innovation processes in other industries (see Bakhshi et al, 2008). …”

We distinguish three such roles: First, Creative Industries are a major source of innovative ideas and thus contribute to an economy's innovative potential and the generation of new products and services. Secondly, they offer services which may be inputs to innovative activities of other enterprises and organisations within and outside the creative industries. Thirdly, Creative Industries are intensive users of technology and often demand adaptations and new developments of technology, providing innovation impulses to technology producers.Creative Industries are defined as those economic activities that strongly rest on individual creativity, skill and talent and predominantly produce intellectual property (in contrast to material goods or immediately consumable services). In order to identify enterprises in the Creative Industries, we combine a sector classification approach (as used by most authors so far) with an analysis of an enterprise's degree of creativity in terms of creativity of employees, creativity of products, and creativity of processes. We define creative enterprises as those belonging to a Creative Industry sector and predominantly conducting creative economic activities.The empirical study is based on a survey of more than 2,000 creative enterprises from Austria.We show that the creative industries are not only -by definition -a source of creativity, but they also show a strong performance in technological innovation and thus directly contribute Das Wichtigste in KürzeIn diesem Aufsatz wird der Beitrag der "Creative Industries" zur Innovationstätigkeit in einer AbstractThis paper analyses the role of creative industries in affecting an economy's innovation performance. We conducted a survey of more than 2,000 creative industry enterprises from Austria which are defined by a combination of sector affiliation and the degree of creativity of the services they offer. We show that the creative industries are among the most innovative sectors in the economy. They support innovation in a variety of other sectors through creative inputs, such as ideas for new products (i.e. innovation content), supplementary products and services (such as software) or marketing support for product innovations. What is more, they are also ...

“…Similarly, a review of the research on the CCIs, reveals many studies which analyse, for example, the cultural and creative production system Pratt 2004;Adkins, Foth et al 2007;Pratt 2008;Bakhshi and McVittie 2009;Abadie, Friedewald et al 2010;Potts and Cunningham 2010, Taylor 2011), the role played by networks and informal relations (Banks, Lovatt et al 2000;Delmestri, Montanari et al 2005;Adkins, Foth et al 2007;Antcliff, Saundry et al 2007;Dahlstrom and Hermelin 2007;Potts, Cunningham et al 2008;Currid and Williams 2010;Lange 2010;Lingo and O'Mahony 2010), the importance of places and clusters Drake 2003;Mommaas 2004;Neff 2005;Bathelt and Graf 2008;Gwee 2009;Pratt 2009;Collis, Felton et al 2010;Thomas, Hawkins et al 2010) and the conditions and drivers of creative labour (Banks 2006;Comunian 2009). The role of HE institutions within this new CCI landscape in the UK has received some attention (Crossick 2006;Powell 2007;Taylor 2007;Comunian and Faggian 2011) but little with an explicitly regional and urban development focus.…”

The Triple Helix model of knowledge-industry-government relationships is one of the most comprehensive attempts to explain the changing institutional frameworks for innovation and growth, especially in the regional and urban contexts. Since the 1970s policies have been developed across Europe to evolve this institutional landscape. Since the late 1990s, regional and urban development strategies have also sought to harness the growth potential of the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to regional and urban economic development. However, whilst the regional and urban planning literature has examined the growth-promoting potential of universities very closely, their possible role in relation to regional and urban creative economic development has received less attention. This paper aims to begin addressing this gap by interrogating the relationship between universities and the regional creative economy using, as a starting point, a model of analysis suggested by the Triple Helix theoretical framework. The paper finds that whilst universities possess often long and hidden associations with regional and urban creative activitiesas hidden protagonists -there are important institutional and professional challenges in the possibility of their developing an explicit and sustainable role as new actors in the regional and urban creative economies. The paper identifies the nature of these challenges with a view to developing a clearer understanding of the system, policy and institutional realities that underpin the often complex dynamics of knowledge creation-practice relationships found in arts and humanities disciplines.

“…Firms in the creative industries, such as design, publishing, software or the arts, are normally seen as particularly innovative (DCMS 2001;Miles and Green 2008;Bakshi and McVittie 2009;Müller et al 2009). Cities are important for these relationships:…”

The creative industries have long been seen as an innovative sector. More recent research posits that creative occupations are also a fundamental, but overlooked, driver of innovation. Theory also suggests cities are important for both creative industries and occupations, with urban environments helping firms innovate. Yet little empirical work has considered the links between creative industries, occupations, cities and innovation at the firm level. This paper addresses this gap using a sample of over 9,000 UK SMEs. Our results stress that creative industries firms are more likely to introduce original product innovations, but not those learnt from elsewhere.Creative occupations, however, appear a more robust general driver of innovation.We find no support for the hypothesis that urban creative industries firms are particularly innovative. However, creative occupations are used in cities to introduce product innovations learnt elsewhere. The results suggest future work needs to seriously consider the importance of occupations in empirical studies of innovation.
