创意是促进社会进步和经济发展不竭动力。20世纪90年代以来,随着发达国家和地区创意产业的迅猛发展,创意产业成为国外战略学家、管理学家、经济学家、社会学家以及文化理论研究者的关注焦点。目前,关于创意产业的含义,学术界还未取得一致认识。本文将在初步界定“创意产业”的基础上,着重从理论和实证两方面分析发展创意产业的重要意义。 Creativity is an inexhaustible motive force for promoting social progress and economic development. Since the 1990s, with the rapid development of creative industries in developed countries and regions, creative industries have become the focus of foreign strategic strategists, management scientists, economists, sociologists and cultural theory researchers. At present, the academic community has not yet reached consensus on the meaning of creative industries. Based on the preliminary definition of “creative industry”, this article focuses on the analysis of the significance of developing creative industries from both theoretical and empirical points of view.
