Cultural industries are sector of high importance that produce tangible and intangible artistic and creative products. Creative industries have the ability to change the image of a city or country, making them more attractive to companies from other sectors. The creative industries sector is becoming an increasingly important component of the Serbian economy. The Government of the Republic of Serbia in 2018 established the Council for Creative Industries. During 2019, the national platform Serbia Creates was established. The largest exports of the domestic creative industry are recorded in the software industry, followed by the film industry, multimedia, video advertising as well as the printing industry and architectural works. The Strategy of Smart Specialization of the Republic of Serbia (4S) was adopted in 2020. Creative industries in Serbia are one of the key drivers of technological progress and long-term development.

With the changing model of production in recent years, small and medium industries (SMI) and microenterprises are the object of greater analysis in the economic literature, and governments are paying more attention to them in their development strategies. However, neoliberal positions have been used to explain their success, and the study ofthe SMI is turned into an argument in favor of the free market.This article seeks to define the terms of analysis. It emphasizes the heterogeneity of those productive units, and establishes the common elements which allow it to be treated as a universe with a certain degree of coherence not separate from socioeconomic phenomena as a whole. In addition, it compares different types of SMI in order tobetter understand its behavior and its potential as a factor in societal development. ; Con el cambio del modelo de producción de los últimos tiempos, las industrias pequeñas y medianas (PMI) y las microempresas con objeto de mayor análisis en la literatura económica, y los gobiernos les prestan más atención en sus estrategias de desarrollo. Sin embargo para explicar su éxito se acude a las posiciones neoliberales y el estudio de las PMI se trabsforma en una argumentación en pro del libre mercado. Este artículo busca precisar los términos del análisis. Resalta la heterogeneidad de esas unidades productivas y establece los elementos comunes que permite tratarlas como un universo con cierto grado de coherencia no ajeno a los fenómenos socioeconómicos en conjunto. Además, compara difentes tipos de PMI para entender mejor su comportamiento y sus potencialidades como factor para el desarrollo de la sociedad.

The objective of this article was to propose a conceptual model of strategic projectmanagement for basic industries. The model was built using the soft systems methodology "Soft SystemMethodology" (SSM), proposed by Professor Peter Chekland. This methodology is a way of dealingwith problem situations in which there is a high social, political and human component in the activity.In the case of the GEP, the proposed conceptual model translates the interactions of strategic planning,portfolio management and production and operations management, generating a model that explainsthe forms of growth and decrease in the system real. Finally the conclusions of the investigation arepresented.

La localización de las industrias en general y las empresas en particular ha sido un tema de gran importancia en economía desde el trabajo seminal de Alfred Marshall (1890; 1920) quien, mediante la observación, se dedicó a analizar por qué las empresas se co-localizan en lugares particulares. Además, en las últimas décadas se ha producido un aumento en el número de estudios empíricos que investigan las fuerzas motrices detrás de las decisiones de localización de las empresas industriales (Arauzo-Carod et al., 2010). Por otro lado, un tema candente es el que se dedica al estudio de las industrias creativas y ello ha motivado el estudio de su localización. El término "industrias creativas" es una categoría todavía reciente en el discurso político, académico e industrial (Cunningham, 2002), sin embargo, está emergiendo claramente un importante debate sobre el papel de la creatividad y la cultura como factores determinantes para el desarrollo económico local (Power y Scott, 2004; Ginsburgh y Throsby, 2006). En este trabajo abordamos estos temas desde una perspectiva de las economías de aglomeración aplicando un análisis comparativo al caso de España y Reino Unido. ; The location of industries in general and firms has been a subject of great importance in economics since the seminal work of Alfred Marshall (1890; 1920) who, through observation, devoted himself to analysing why companies are co-located in particular places. In addition, in the last decades there has been an increase in the number of empirical studies that investigate the driving forces behind the locational decisions of industrial firms (Arauzo-Carod et al., 2010). On the other hand, a burning issue is the one that is dedicated to the study of the creative industries and this has motivated the study of its location. The term "creative industries" is still a recent category in political, academic, and industrial discourse (Cunningham, 2002), but a major debate is clearly emerging about the role of creativity and culture as determinants of local economic development (Power and Scott, 2004; Ginsburgh and Throsby, 2006). In this work we approach these issues from a perspective of agglomeration economies applying a comparative analysis to the case of Spain and the United Kingdom.
