The co-creative university has become the main driver of social and
economic development stimulating internal (students and academics)
and external creativity (companies and institutional environment)
as well as cooperation in various areas (e.g. applied graduation
theses, research projects, lifelong learning). Intended as a
contribution to a better understanding of how universities create
value in numerous areas, this book discusses the determinants of
creativity and ways of stimulating it with a special focus on
approaches and practical solutions relevant to teaching. Examples
include problem-oriented student theses, which represent a
successful combination of creativity with practical knowledge.
Based on the findings of international surveys of students, the
author offers an in-depth analysis of the differences between what
they expect from universities and the degree to which their
expectations are met. Comparing students' opinions with those of
employees of international corporations (working graduates)
permitted the author to test the actual utility of selected aspects
of university education. Regrettably, both groups of respondents
gave low ratings to support for developing creativity, which should
serve as a warning sign and inform future reforms at this level of
education. This book is primarily targeted to those involved in
education, policy-making, and socio-economic development. It
provides a rich source of information for university managers on
how to better fulfil their missions based on the idea of
co-creativity. It also suggests how to improve the effectiveness of
research and education in order to ensure that both can better
respond to current development challenges.
Drawing on a range of European cases, this edited volume analyses
the offshoring and outsourcing of foreign companies, with a focus
on territorial embeddedness. The book opens by developing a
theoretical framework and then presents a range of international
case studies exploring the experiences of the service hub cities of
Brno, Bratislava, Budapest, Krakow, and Prague. Attention is also
given to internal and external determinants of embeddedness, with
chapters on the employee perspective, the Fintech industry,
corporate social responsibility, and the role of universities. This
volume will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in
regional economics, economic geography, innovation studies,
industrial economics, European economics, and international
business.

The consequences of the global economic crisis which started in the
United States in 2007-08 are still being felt in most of the
advanced economies, and the mainstream tools of recovery are not
having the required results. It seems that many of the
after-effects of the crisis, including the instability of the
financial markets, increasing public debts and limited economic
growth, require new solutions from both economic policy and theory.
Lower aggregate demand during the crisis increased the pressure on
firms to be more competitive and at the same time, the crisis in
the banking system has had a negative impact on the willingness of
financial institutions to give credit to companies for investment.
Therefore, the key issue for current economic policy is to find a
balance between the stabilisation of public finance and maintaining
the momentum of long-term growth. This book offers an
evolutionary-developmental analysis, combining elements of
neo-Schumpeterian economics, institutional economics and
post-Keynesian economics, to show that selection processes within
an economy, and the institutional rules shaping those processes,
are substantially more important than usually recognised by
evolutionary economic theory. Two major challenges for economic
theory and policy, in particular, have emerged during the crisis.
The first is the rise of unemployment coupled with growing public
deficits. The second is the financial instability which threatens
the permanence of economic development. This book examines the
performance of the advanced economies since the crisis and explores
why some of them have been more successful in tackling these
challenges than others. It is argued that the reasons for the
varied performances of these economies lie in the economic policies
which were introduced before and in the aftermath of the crisis and
the differences in the regulation of their labour markets. This
volume will be of interest to students and academics in the areas
of macroeconomics, public economics and public management.
