The global economy is understood as an economy of information, knowledge, creativity, networks and services. The creation of value in the economy is involved in the economic, social and cognitive mechanisms. The economic mechanism emphasizes the processes of cooperation and production, the social mechanism, in turn, communication and marketing techniques, the cognitive mechanism is based on human imagination and interpretation. Under the cognitive mechanism is meant creativity, the ability to bring new motive, ideas. Cognitive mechanisms are in value creation process complementary to economic and social mechanisms and they are capable of producing value separately. One of the approaches to measuring creativity is to define and analyse creative industries. The creative industries are industries in which “combine and overlap the fields of art, culture, business and technology. They create a cycle of creation, production and distribution, using their intellectual capital as primary capital [1]. The contribution of the creative industry lies in its cross-sectoral dimension with minimal territorial constraints. The article will focus on the definition of creative industries and the analysis of creative industries in the Slovakia. The method used was the analysis of trends in the form of percentage year-on-year change. The creative industry is the sensitive on the state and development of the economy in Slovakia.
The success of building sustainable consumption and production depends on creating a sufficient awareness and above all the involvement of all countries in the process of improving the environmental performance of products throughout their life cycle. Awareness and understanding of the social and economic dimension, influences building of sustainable consumption and production in the widest scale and makes it possible to encourage and motivate to socially responsible behavior. The article focuses on summarizing the basic attributes of sustainable consumption and production, as well as on the comparison of the progress of V4 countries in meeting the goal of "Responsible consumption and production" forming part of the Sustainable Development Agenda until 2030. We focus on indicators with quantitative target, where insufficient progress towards the EU target was achieved or there was a movement away from the target. The indicators are Primary energy consumption and Final energy consumption.
The analysis of professional literature shows that many businesses measure innovation performance based on a combination of input and output indicators. The results of comparison confirmed that there are many concepts in innovation performance measurement, but they are not consistent. In scientific practice, there are also opinions that studies on indicators of innovation performance measurement are inadequate. The results indicate that most of the indicators are input-oriented and only few indicators are outputoriented. Businesses face difficulties when establishing a clear relationship between business innovation and its performance. When measuring innovation performance, there is a serious problem with a significant delay of the benefits of innovation and the complexity of the isolation of the role of innovation from other business activities with respect to the overall performance. Measuring innovative business performance can be achieved by financial indicators such as ROE, ROI and by non-financial indicators such as the number of new ideas, products, and so on. The paper aims to compare the development of innovation in the selected sector and the development of the sector's financial indicators for the identification of indicators whose development most closely corresponds to the development of innovation.
The Proceedings of Scientific Articles and Studies is a partial output of the research project VEGA1 / 0708/20 Socio-economic determinants of sustainable consumption and production and represents one of the planned outputs within the research tasks solved by an experienced team of scientific and pedagogical staff of the Faculty of Business Management of the University of Economics in Bratislava. The aim of the Proceedings is to publish the achieved partial output of the project solution. Contributions are sorted in alphabetical order according to authors' names. The aim of the Proceedings is to stimulate new ideas for scientists who could contribute to the use of new expertise in sustainable consumption and production in the conditions of the current Slovak economy, thus contribute to a more objective view of the researched issues. I believe that the peer-reviewed scientific volume will contribute not only to the popularization of the presented topics, but also to a broader scientific and professional discussion of the authors and their followers.
