  • National creative climate and competitiveness in the EU [Elektronski vir]
    Bavec, Cene
    The paper presents results of an exploratory study in which we analyze a possibility to develop a set of indicators that would define a national creative climate, and to assess its relation to the ... national competitiveness in a similar way as it is done at the corporate level. The main goal was to use available indicators from the EU and other information sources and to associate them with the national creative climate, treating them just as fragments of more realistic climate model. We were experimenting just with these fragments and not with a final model that can be used to assess comprehensively the national creative climate. With hierarchical clustering we identified clusters of EU countries with similar creative climate without labeling any numeric value to the climate. We confirmed that grouping of EU countries by the national creative climate, as we defined it in the first approximation, and by the national competitiveness leads to similar clusters membership. We indicated that relation between creative climate and competitiveness is not symmetrical. Similar creative climate means similar competitiveness, but similar competitiveness can lead to different classes of creative climate. In other words, one doesn't need to imitate creative climate of Scandinavian countries to reach the same competitiveness. He can do it also on the German or Luxembourg way. Such "soft" indicators should be a complement to the "hard" macro economics indicators which are the back bone of the present national and EU statistics. They would enable national government and the European Commission to develop new policy instruments, particularly in the field of human resources and development.
