| Abstract: | The relevance of this research is related to cross-innovation that have become new impulses for the development of creative industries and other industries in favor of strengthening economic diversification. This is an exceptionally new offer for real sector companies and the support of unique creative solutions based on advanced technologies. The main goal of the work is to identify cross-sectoral projects of creative industries and methodologically substantiate the development of cross-innovation cooperation between creative industries and other sectors of the economy. This implies formulation of the author's version of the boundaries of the concept of cross-sectoral cooperation between creative and «non-creative» industries. The main conclusions of the study are the following. Cross-innovation means cooperation of an intersectoral or interdisciplinary nature between creative industries and real-sector companies. The main goal of such activity is to ensure the competitiveness and efficiency of cross-innovation activities. Cross-innovation projects also contribute to the emergence of new economic benefits produced not only by cultural and creative industries, but also by other economic agents, since these projects create favorable conditions for doing business. In their turn, regions and territories that serve as a space for the development of cross-innovative projects, attract investment, labor and are characterized by dynamic economic development. Conclusions about practical significance of this research argue that this work may serve as a direct guide for the development of cross-innovation cooperation in Russia, due to its scientific novelty and methodological importance. |

| Abstract: | The literature is rather inconclusive when it comes to asserting whether digital technologies tend to favor collaboration (Do-It-Together, DIT) or creating alone (Do-It-Yourself, DIY) in creative production. In this paper, we argue that providing an answer to that question implies adopting a micro-perspective, which ties individual creators' usage of different types of digital technologies, and their choices of DIT or DIY. Using data from a sample of French musicians, we find that while the use of some digital technologies is clearly associated with artists creating alone, other digital technologies have a more ambiguous association with DIY or DIT. We then uncover the boundary conditions of the association of these ambiguous technologies with DIY and DIT behaviors by showing how individual characteristics of the creators moderate this association. |

| Abstract: | Encounters between materials and bodies matter throughout the creative process. This paper contends that creative work depends on these encounters generating and filling the atmosphere with affect. Based on an in-depth ethnography within a fashion design studio, the article empirically traces such affective encounters and corresponding atmospheres. In the studio, designing is performed through artefacts as well as experimental and collaborative gestures that inspire affective reactions and spark creative work. The creative body is part of a complex and atmospheric space where materials, bodies and external influences circulate via affective encounters and prompts. The analysis reveals the spatial and affective materiality of creativity and contributes to the recent interest in atmospheric organizational inquiry. |

| Abstract: | Combining comprehensive data from the Norwegian media market on newspaper circulation, readership, revenues, factor inputs, and product characteristics with plausibly exogenous variation in the availability and adoption of broadband internet, this paper provides causal evidence on how the internet affected the traditional print media market. Household adoption of broadband internet triggered large reductions in print readership and circulation and equally large increases in online news readership. Despite strong substitution from print to online news consumption, newspaper firms’ revenues fell by almost 30%. Newspaper firms responded by dramatically cutting costs, either by shedding labor inputs or by reducing the physical size of newspaper sheets, and in doing so avoided meaningful losses in profits. The printed newspaper product available to customers also changed, as newspapers shifted content away from tabloid to more serious news. This paper offers a case study on how an adverse technology shock transmits through firms with multiple margins of adjustment, and provides an explanation for the economic resilience of newspapers. |
