Course Syllabus
Abstract
Creativity research is a multidisciplinary branch of social sciences. The course is structured along the three major research domains: the economic and policy domain (macro-level), the management domain (organizational level) and the psychological domain (individual level). Within the first domain the students will learn about the specificities of ‘creative economy’, ways to measuring this phenomenon, and about public policies supporting creative industries. The second domain is referred to creativity in companies and the approaches to generating business ideas and establishing corporate culture favorable to creativity and innovation. Finally, the third domain will show how psychologists treat creativity and which techniques they use to assess individual creativity, which actions could be taken to improve creativity skills. The educational module “Practices of statistical measurement of the creative economy” of the course was prepared in the framework of a research grant funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (grant ID: 075-15-2020-978).
