Abstract

Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, das Verständnis von Unternehmertum in der Kreativwirtschaft konzeptionell zu bereichern. Es wird hierbei die Notwendigkeit betont, die Terminologie zu spezifizieren, welche zur Beschreibung von Kulturunternehmerinnen und -unternehmern verwendet wird, da die aktuellen Definitionen und Verwendungen in der Cultural Entrepreneurship Forschung stark variieren. Dieser Umstand trägt nicht dazu bei, ein tiefgreifendes Verständnis des Phänomens zu generieren. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass knowledge-intensive innovative entrepreneurship (KIE) ein geeigneter theoretischer Ansatz für die Weiterentwicklung der Forschung zum Unternehmertum in der Kreativwirtschaft ist, da der Schwerpunkt auf Wissensvielfalt liegt. Durch die Untersuchung vorhandener Literatur zu KIE in der Kreativwirtschaft und Unternehmertum als Faktor in der Soziologie der Kulturproduktion verbindet der Beitrag Erkenntnisse aus beiden Bereichen, um ein besseres Verständnis dafür zu generieren, wie Unternehmertum in Kunst und kreativer Arbeit angegangen, beobachtet und analysiert werden kann. Der Fokus wird daher auf den Schlüsselaspekt der Wertschöpfung gelegt, indem die Bedeutung und Definitionen von Wert und Bewertung gegenüberstellt werden und eine neue konzeptionelle Definition des kulturellen KIE-Unternehmens vorgeschlagen wird.
