1	The study of the correlation of cultural creative industries and state branding. Chen, Shul-yin 10 August 2006 (has links) In the book Brand America, the author believes the US establishes and manages the country¡¦s image as a brand; in the long run, it imperceptibly boosts the national competitiveness of the US. In the meantime, the various phenomena in economy elicited by the cultural and creative industries and the general meaning of a ¡§National Image¡¨ at the conceptual level make people aware that the cultural creative industries have a great influence on a nation¡¦s competitiveness. The methodology of literature review is adopted. The researcher establishes indicators of cultural creative industries and indicators of the state branding, then makes assessments. The research purposively samples 45 countries in all from the three biggest economic areas (15 each), which are the European Union (EU), the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and then makes comparisons. The result shows:¡]1¡^cultural creative industries are significantly correlated with the state branding.¡]2¡^cultural creative industries have the largest influence on one of the four main image aspects of the state branding: image of residential areas.¡]3¡^In the eleven cultural creative industries, music industry has the opportunity to advance the most in state branding.¡]4¡^The correlation of cultural creative industries and state branding will be influenced by the division of economic areas.¡]5¡^The best countries of state branding are Sweden, Australia and Canada. cultural creative industries country competitiveness state branding country image

An export trade oriented approach can lead to faster industrialization while diversification leads to economic sustainable growth. This research seeks to understand how countries compete for foreign direct investments, and how certain activities have the most impact in the competitive global marketplace. Research suggests that when companies decide to invest abroad, they seek only to find countries that facilitate their strategic objectives. The results conclude with appropriate levels of government accountability, credibility and visibility with the private sector, foreign direct investment is attracted by policy advocacy and policy reform. By reviewing countries such as United Arab Emirates in direct comparison to Western Asian countries, including Kuwait and Iraq with high levels of fuel exports, along with Qatar with optimistic marketplace indicators and plentitude of skills and capabilities – research seems to suggest that despite high capabilities and attractive GDP, promotional investment activities yield the highest returns using policy advocacy and reform.
