The research project explored the importance of complexity theory approaches and methods in investigating different aspects of the creative economy. It has built a knowledge community and online resources to enable researchers to consider advantages and challenges presented by complexity theory in analysing the interconnections between people, ideas and practice. Through three independent pilot studies the project engaged with different dynamics of the creative economy at different scales: from idea generation and development dynamics, to collaborative work and knowledge exchange, to reconciling production and consumption and taking into account the role of intermediaries in regional creative clusters. While engaging with key issues of the creative economy the project reflected on the advantages and challenges presented by the use of complexity theory. Overall complexity theory allows researchers to unfold dynamics of different nature and directions, giving central stage to creative agents who are shaped by these dynamics while contributing to changes within local communities, creative events and activities and regional contexts. Complexity approaches used in the pilot studies have given us a clearer understanding of the multi-scale connections which characterise the creative economy as a complex system. The challenges met during the research projects - namely considering connections vs. causality and specificity vs. comparability - provide fertile venues for further research and for further expansion on the use of complexity theory in the creative economy.

该研究项目探讨了复杂性理论方法和手段在调查创意经济不同方面的重要性。它建立了一个知识社区和在线资源，使研究人员能够考虑复杂性理论在分析人、思想和实践之间的相互联系时所带来的优势和挑战。通过三项独立的试点研究，该项目涉及不同规模的创意经济的不同动态：从创意产生和发展动态，到协作工作和知识交流，再到协调生产和消费，并考虑到中介机构在区域创意集群中的作用。在处理创意经济的关键问题时，该项目反思了使用复杂性理论所带来的优势和挑战。整体复杂性理论允许研究人员展开不同性质和方向的动态，为受这些动态影响的创造性主体提供中心舞台，同时促进当地社区，创造性事件和活动以及区域背景的变化。试点研究中使用的复杂性方法使我们更清楚地了解了将创意经济视为复杂系统的多尺度联系。在研究项目中遇到的挑战-即考虑联系与因果关系、具体性与可比性-为进一步研究和进一步扩大复杂性理论在创意经济中的应用提供了肥沃的土壤。
