The economic sustainability of local development projects based on the acquis

Rausell-Köster, Pau

El Passat en el seu lloc: patrimoni arqueològic, desenvolupament i turisme.

The work "The Past in His Place. Archaeological heritage, development and tourism” collects contributions from the Third Debate Days of the Museum of Prehistory of Valencia (Spain). The main objective of the conferences was to reflect on the possibilities offered by sustainable tourism management of the archaeological heritage and its impact on the territory. It is intended to reflect on the extent to which heritage projects can find in tourism a way of preserving and profiting culturally, socially and economically and the role of each of the actors in this system of relations.

Economic development and the creative industries: a tale of causality

Marco-Serrano, Francisco Rausell-Koster, Pau Abeledo-Sanchis, Raül

Creative Industries Journal. No.7:2, 81-91

Cultural and creative industries are thought to be a driver for economic growth. During the last decade, research has tried to link higher intensity of these industries with the region’s welfare. However, this is a controversial relationship that still needs to be proved. In this article, we build a conceptual framework to help us test the possible causality between regional income generation and employment in the cultural and creative sectors. Using regional European data for 1999 2008, our results show that there is a significant feedback (bidirectional causality) between the per capita GDP and employment intensity in the cultural and creative industries, allowing us to conclude that...

In search of an optimal dimension for the post-crisis performing arts sector

A tsunami has crashed over Europe, disrupting, submerging, subverting, uprooting most of the certainties that underpinned the condescending Eurocentrism of the late 1980s, which saw in the fall of the Berlin Wall the end of history, and in economic integration the definitive triumph of what the intellectual comedian Jeremy Rifkin called the "European Dream". In 2004, the American sociologist went so far as to claim that the European Union is the most advanced example of the new model of transnational governance. The European Union is now the first truly postmodern institution of governance and the collective psyche, between the extreme individualism of the United States and the extreme...

Creative economic development: a history of causality

Creative Industries Journal. No.Volume 7

Cultural and creative industries are seen as a driver of economic growth. Over the last decade, research has attempted to link the increased intensity of these industries to the region's well-being. However, this is a controversial relationship that has yet to be proven.

The built city: from the urban plan to the citizen process

Ramón Marrades, David Estal, Chema Segovia

What do we mean by the built city? The temporary city, the spontaneous city, the city that decreases, the city after abandonment, the vacant city, the city of the meantime, the city in transition, the improvised city, the adaptable city, the retired city, the arrhythmic city, the intermediate city. All these names try to delimit the same reality: the city of the present. We offer you the possibility of accompanying us in what we consider to be a fundamental shift in the way of making the city, from the orthodox urban plan to the innovative citizen process. Throughout these pages you will find a theoretical framework, open with questions, but contrasted with five applications in the...

We offer you the possibility of accompanying us in what we consider to be a fundamental shift in the way of making the city, from the orthodox urban plan to the innovative citizen process. Throughout these pages you will find a theoretical framework, open with questions, but contrasted with five applications in the territory. David Estal Herrero (Valencia, 1979) is an architect. Ramon Marrades Sempere (Valencia, 1986) is an urban economist. Chema Segovia Collado (La Línea, 1982) is an architect. The three of them work together on proposals related to the concept of the built city from L’Ambaixada, a studio at the foot of the Carme district. With the aim of promoting the dissemination of these ideas, they collaborate regularly with eldiario.es/cv, Econcult and Aula Ciutat (UV-UPV).

The role of cultural organisations in promoting rural development: a case study

Raúl Abeledo Sanchis

El desarrollo territorial valenciano: reflexiones en torno a sus claves.

Throughout this article, the need to integrate territorial development models with the innovation potential of cultural activities is identified. A better understanding of the evolution of rural areas requires the introduction of extra-economic variables such as values, behaviours and cultural aspects into the socio-economic analysis. In this scenario, the dynamisation, research and training services developed by CITEMA, the identification of new audiences to interact with; the design of alternative business models; the creation of cultural value or the economic impact, to cite a few examples, are part of this scenario.

Cultural marketing

Diana C. Pérez-Bustamante Yábar, Pau Rausell Köster

Organisations need people trained to the highest level in the field of marketing. As Peter Drucker said, "a good CEO will be a marketing manager who can read a balance sheet". However, today's competitive environment is characterised by a high degree of specialisation in their respective sectors, with very different competitive trends and characteristics. For the company, the key is to design and implement a strategy based on the inherent relationships between the general socio-economic environment and its sector of activity, adapting and managing its various functional areas to the particular characteristics of its sector and the general trends of the national and international...

Organisations need people trained to the highest level in the field of marketing. As Peter Drucker said, "a good CEO will be a marketing manager who can read a balance sheet". However, today's competitive environment is characterised by a high degree of specialisation in their respective sectors, with very different competitive trends and characteristics. For the company, the key is to design and implement a strategy based on the inherent relationships between the general socio-economic environment and its sector of activity, adapting and managing its various functional areas to the particular characteristics of its sector and the general trends of the national and international environment. The conceptual foundations of marketing science are generally the same in all sectors: a good market orientation aiming at creating value for all stakeholders of the company (mainly consumers, shareholders and employees). However, the probability of success in business decisions increases when the company defines its target audience and market well and implements strategies and policies adapted to the specificities of that market. The aim of this book is to address, for the marketing area, this growing specialisation in sectors of activity, which requires more specific and sectorial knowledge. The book is aimed primarily at advanced undergraduate and MBA students with prior knowledge in the field of marketing. The fourteen-chapter structure, covering specialist areas of growing interest in business, is designed to fit easily into the teaching weeks of a four-month academic term within the new Bologna system of bachelor's degrees. In addition, due to the in-depth coverage of the topics and the support of examples and case studies from companies, it is also an excellent tool for intensive executive courses and a support manual for marketing managers in any type of company. The book is a joint effort by a large group of professors and specialists from various universities, business schools and companies, who have pooled their academic knowledge and professional experience in their different areas of specialisation. The contents are developed in a practical, entertaining and at the same time rigorous and profound way, which will allow the reader to discover the various sectorial specialities within the exciting world of marketing.

Comprender la economía de la cultura como vía para salir de la crisis .

Rausell-Köster, Pau

Defensa de la necesidad de redefinir las políticas culturales, convirtiéndolas en el eje central de las acciones para salir de la crisis. Aunque el objetivo intrínseco de la política cultural es la satisfacción de los derechos culturales de los ciudadanos, en muchos casos ni siquiera éstos se cumplen. Hay que proponer unas políticas culturales de nueva planta que persigan dichos derechos pero que también sean capaces de dirigir la transformación del modelo productivo y la persecución de otros objetivos sociales. La dimensión de los sectores culturales tiene efectos causales sobre la riqueza de las regiones europeas. Esta nueva política deberá reconocer de una nueva manera los derechos de...

Hay que proponer unas políticas culturales de nueva planta que persigan dichos derechos pero que también sean capaces de dirigir la transformación del modelo productivo y la persecución de otros objetivos sociales. La dimensión de los sectores culturales tiene efectos causales sobre la riqueza de las regiones europeas. Esta nueva política deberá reconocer de una nueva manera los derechos de propiedad intelectual y sus derechos económicos asociados, facilitar el emprendimiento cultural, democratizar el uso de los equipamientos y los espacios públicos y tratar de conocer en mayor profundidad la relación entre el individuo y el hecho cultural.
