“…Within a neoliberal system, people are at the risk of being considered too slow, and as such, of threatening the high production speed desired by society. Slowness is a burden, and if they cannot increase their speed, they are at risk of being “disposed of” (Reheis, , p. 791). Stress‐related illness such as burnout syndrome is a problem within all of the European Union (EU), and it is expected to grow.…”

“…As stress can be considered a significant health risk, it is important not to forget experienced stress and the expressed desire for lugnt when discussing risk and reasons for leaving. Stress, or at least part of stress problematics, can be seen as originating from the individualisation of societal risks (Beck, 1992) and social acceleration (Reheis, 2006;Rosa, 2013). However, we cannot from this study say much about the difference in actual risks to human well-being, in terms of measurable damage, between the urban and the rural, but considering the subjectiveness of risk (Lupton, 1999;Slovic, 2000), it is possible to argue that the urban is experienced as more risky than the rural.…”

A relatively large group of immigrants to rural parts of inner Scandinavia are of German and Dutch descent. Many are families with young children having moved to unpopular areas, characterised by declining populations and services. Seven households of Dutch and German descent were interviewed with a narrative approach to explore their decision to migrate. It is revealed that they do not fit the common explanations of lifestyle migration. A “tale” of escape emerges as they describe what they wanted to leave behind, primarily risks associated with a neoliberal urban environment such as stress, aggression, and competition. The rural is described as a restful and safe space, like Hobbiton, where urban environmental refugees can exhale and live life a bit more lugnt. Drawing on Focaults “care for the self,” their experiences of the negative effects, of the individualisation of risks, neoliberal competition, and an accelerating society render evasion to a new environment into a means of risk avoidance.

“…BIJ 21,1 Hicks (2007) admonishes the lack of governmental commitment to developing a creative economy and refers to this oversight as obstructionist. Reheis (2006) highlights the basic principles of the ecology of time. Creative endeavors, although often pushing for quick action, are cautioned about the destructive potential of haste.…”

Purpose – Creativity is becoming one of the most powerful sources of competitive advantage in the modern economy. As more developed economies progress from the tertiary (or service-based) level to the quaternary (or knowledge-based) level, successful nurturing of creativity and innovation provides competitive advantages for industries and countries alike. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Based on the extant literature, a set of performance measures and metrics for the creative economy is proposed. Findings – A conceptual framework for developing a creative economy is presented, and measures and metrics to be used as a managerial tool for controlling performance in creative economies are provided. Research limitations/implications – Although the measures and metrics presented are based on the best available research, they are not empirically tested. Thus, the measures and metrics must be considered speculative and descriptive research is needed to validate their utility. Practical implications – Utilizing the performance measures and metrics identified in this research provides policy and decision makers with a foundation on which to build their local or regional economies. Originality/value – The research as presented contributes to the literature on the creative economy and is unique in its contribution to said literature.
