Authors of this article analyze the process of innovation policy structure selection and prioritization from the perspective of national knowledge intensive industries. Innovation policy is analyzed in the context of the National Innovation System (NIS) development procedure. The systematic approach to innovation gives a realistic view of innovation processes and can hence serve as a ratable framework to derive innovation and technology policy measures. In order to utilize the systematic approach for the formulation and implementation of the innovation policy there is a need to analyze the relations between the system and the national innovation processes in high technology sector.

The article deals with the analysis of the theoretical approaches, that articulate the changes of the sense and the means of communicative actions in the society of the market economy. Communicative actions are regarded first of all from the perspective of the cultural industries concept, that was developed by Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer. Regarded by them as a mean of manipulation, it is later on questioned by Jürgen Habermas, who sees communicative action as a possibility of democratic developement. Lev Manovich follows the discussion and introduces new concepts of communicative actions, related to the developement of distance control, interaction and databases. As well as the representatives of the Frankfurt School, he also admits that new communication tools serve as manipulative means for the market, but he notices that at the same time these means can also be influenced and organized by an independent user. Nicolas Garnham, John Hartley and other representatives of British cultural studies school admit that the developement of social networks and at the same time of the creative industries lead to a new relationship between the market and the consumer. This new relationship is analyzed in the governmental documents of the EU and particular governmental institutions that support the creation of the creative economy market. Theoretical and governmental discourses join together while promoting the idea of communication, understanding and interaction between the consumers and the citizens of the world.

With changes in economic system, cultural and creative industries that are associated with art, mass media and media activities comprise an increasing part of a country economy. Cultural and creative industries sector impacts the economic system not only through main economic indicators but also indirectly: it develops creativity, innovativeness and innovation, which encourage the sector development itself and contribute to the growth of other sectors. It provides an argument for the scientific problem formulated in the dissertation – what are the theoretical assumptions for the cultural and creative industries and how to evaluate cultural and creative industries sector? The research problem covers the majority of basic principles of the sector: evaluation of cultural and economic value, the opposition between economically inefficient cultural industries and commercially successful creative industries, impact on country's economic growth and welfare. In the dissertation the concept of cultural and creative industries was discussed; classification systems were analysed; concept of cultural and economic value was introduced; complex model of cultural and creative industries was presented, and the impact of cultural and creative industries on socioeconomic system was analysed. In order to evaluate the sector, predominant methods for evaluating the sector were reviewed, critical analysis of creativity indexes was performed, the demand for a new analytical tool was considered, and cultural and creative industries index was developed. Cultural and creative industries index has been calculated for the European Union countries (2000-2014); according the CCII the comparison European Union countries has been performed, and opportunities to apply it for further empirical research has been studied and possible trends for further evaluation of cultural and creative industries sector have been formed.

dustry that examined the cultural and economic aspects of the Lithuanian film industry's national and global situation and developments in the 21st century. The authors review changes in the political, legal, tax, and other circumstances in 2011–2014 that led to qualitative changes in the film industry over the last four years. The authors conducted quantitative research in order to properly evaluate the symbolic and cultural national film industry output level. The survey data is analyzed and compared with survey data from the previous year.

Setting ambitious environmental targets has been a hallmark of European Union (EU) policy for decades. The European Commission's strategy "A European Green Deal" aims to make the EU a climate-neutral continent by 2050. It also seeks to decouple the EU's economic growth from the use of energy resources and restructure the economy so that net greenhouse gas emissions are zero. To achieve this vision and maintain the competitiveness of the EU industry, improving energy efficiency must become a priority for industrial policy in every EU State. To make this vision a reality, the EU plans to invest in environmentally friendly technologies, support innovative industry, reduce the energy sector's dependence on fossil fuels and improve energy efficiency, among other measures. In the context of the complex interrelationship between energy efficiency, environmental protection and industrial competitiveness, the question arises whether the competitiveness of energy-intensive industries in European countries can be reasonably assessed and compared. Therefore, the research aims to develop a conceptual model for the assessment of industrial competitiveness, including energy efficiency and climate change mitigation components, to develop an energy efficiency index for the assessment of industrial competitiveness based on this model and to apply it empirically to energy-intensive industries. The empirical study carried out in this dissertation investigated the competitiveness of energy-intensive industries in 19 European countries, divided the countries studied into groups and identified the factors determining the competitiveness of the industries.
This article analyzes concrete aspects of regional cultural policy in times of ever changing global environment. New Public Governance provides different opportunities to increase the level of efficiency in regional cultural industries. By describing main regional cultural policy issues and priorities in Lithuania it is essential to examine theoretical/methodological signs of New Public Governance.[.]
