We identify creative companies by means of a textual analysis that hinges on the competing values framework. We show that a creative corporate culture is an important driver of innovation, as measured by the number of patents as well as the patents’ importance as captured by patents’ citations and market values. A portfolio of creative companies earns significantly positive annual four-factor alphas. We quantify potential biases that could be induced by the omission of relevant variables by formally examining coefficient movements after inclusion of controls.

In what way can demographic research, a field of study that aims to analyze population change, benefit from studying outlying groups, countries, or events? Our analytic work suggests that three types of outliers might emerge in demographic transitions: 1) Vanguards – the initiators of the transition; 2) Laggards – late adopters of the innovative behavior; and 3) Isolates – those who never joined the transition. We discuss the advantages of analyzing outliers, the barriers that impede such research, and the implications of failing to identify them. Identifying vanguard groups might help demographers locate the onset of a demographic transition, make more accurate projections, and better anticipate the potential trajectory that other groups will experience. Studying laggard populations allows exploring the mechanisms that facilitate or impede the adoption of a new behavior. Isolates can help demographers learn about the essentials of demographic processes, before they were affected by other changes.

We study and model the process by which humans summarize creative documents (e.g., from a movie script to a synopsis). We develop a customized topic model based on Poisson Factorization and inspired by the creativity literature, which links the text in a summary to the text in the original document. Traditional Poisson Factorization approximates documents as positive combinations of topics, i.e., as points in the cone defined by a set of topics (in the Euclidean space defined by the words in the vocabulary). The model proposed here captures not only this “inside the cone” portion of a document, but also the “outside the cone” portion that is not explained by a combination of common topics. The model captures how these two types of content are weighed in summaries as compared to full documents. In addition, it captures writing norms that influence the extent to which each topic appears in summaries compared to full documents. We apply this model to a dataset of marketing academic papers and their abstracts, and to a dataset of movie scripts and their synopses. We illustrate a practical application of our research by creating a public, online interactive tool meant to serve as a “sounding board” for users interested in writing summaries of creative documents.

During the twentieth century, indigenous peoples have often embraced the category of indigenous while also having to face the ambiguities and limitations of this concept. Indigeneity, whether represented by indigenous people themselves or others, tends to face a “double bind”, as defined by Gregory Bateson, in which “no matter what a person does, he can’t win.” One exit strategy suggested by Bateson is meta-communication—communication about communication—in which new solutions emerge from a questioning of system-internal assumptions. We offer case studies from Ecuador, Peru and Alaska that chart some recent indigenous experiences and strategies for such scenarios.

This study investigates the role of national and organisational culture in day-to-day activities of multinational project teams, specifically focusing on differences between Chinese and Dutch project managers. We rely on fieldwork observation and interviews with representatives from a diverse set of organizations in China and the Netherlands. Analyses focus on the impact of cultural differences on five project management processes – (1) project planning, (2) cost and quality management, (3) risk management, (4) scope management and project promises, and (5) communication. Although there are many differences observed in these five processes, research subjects report no significant impact of cross-cultural collaboration on project performance. We conclude that cross-cultural project teams can provide critical elements for an effective combination of different project management practices: people from various national and organisational cultures, enriched by different experiences and management theories, with a mix of skills. This study provides insights for those who work cross culturally (especially between western and eastern contexts) and is also a contribution to both the project management and cross-cultural management literatures.

Deficit reduction, social pressures, concerns about quality of life, and the desire for a more creative economy are the backdrop for the provincial and territorial Budgets in 2012-13. Past patterns of support for the cultural sector helped shape each province and territory’s treatment of culture in these budgets, but at the same time, breaks in past patterns made for an unpredictable environment. Some provinces and territories that have traditionally been highly supportive of the sector were forced by circumstances to retrench. Others that had been less generous in the past were re-examining their policies and considering a new approach. Some maintained an uneasy status quo in the face of worrisome developments elsewhere.

This paper analyzes quantitative findings on the innovative behavior of firms in the production chains of pisco and shoe manufacture in Peru, which are served by the network of Technological Innovation Centers (CITEs), the most important technology policy instrument available in Peru. These two chains, in low and medium-technology industries, are representative of Peru’s manufacturing sector. Of particular interest is the role of technical standards as a means of technological diffusion, which is stressed in the work of the CITEs. For the pisco chain, that role involves the definition of the product itself, for which Peru is seeking a World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) denomination. In the shoe chain, the technical standard should act as a coordination mechanism that will help increase efficiency throughout the chain, which at present is often fractured.
